It's dreary outside and fall has certainly started showing it's face around here--falling temperatures, leaves turning.
I'm debating about what, if any, bulbs to order. I dug up a huge bounty from the old place and need to get those in the ground. But it just feels right to order some more!
Minor bulbs do a good job for some low lying, early spring color. Color is something I definitely need in the front yard. It's just too plain up there for me!
But I remember before I bought the house, there were hyacinths blooming in the front and so were a couple of sparse tulips. I love hyacinths...perhaps I'll buy some of those. Tulips I have a ton of...but they are one of my favorites. You can never have too many.
I think I might check out Habig's selection. they had some lovely dwarf irises a few years ago that I really liked.
Trials and tales of a not-so-advanced gardener--both in the dirt and beyond.

Isn't it fun to order bulbs! I cheated and went to a big box store and picked up a package or two of inexpensive King Alfred dafs...they will naturalize nicely in this one spot. Also some muscari. Have you gotten bulbs from the BB stores?
Gail-my secret is the cheap mail order catalogs...I typically order a bunch and have a spend $50, save $25 coupon or something. And they have a big variety that are usually on sale or buy one, get one free.
They turn out great every year!
