Easy To Buy But Then

[Nyboy]

Today I planted hundreds of spring bulbs. When something is 50% or more off I go into autopilot and fill shopping cart. I did that twice this week. I had a trunk jam full of bulbs with time running out to plant. I enlisted the paid help of nephew to help. He would dig wide holes I would place bulbs and cover. First hour I spaced bulbs made sure all stay right side up while covering . By 3 hour I was ripping package open over hole, bulbs stayed where they fell. I am so glad I missed this year tree clearance.

I will wait patiently on pictures of your flower blooming bonanza this coming spring.

They'll grow just fine. Fortunately for us gardeners in a hurry God the creator built geotropism into a plants hormones. The roots will grow toward gravity and the tops will grow away from it.

I have done the same as you describe. Throw them in a hole , sweep dirt over them with my foot and move on. They always come up and bloom beautifully!

Thanks Thistle big difference between 1st planting and last

They're so irresistible in the package, especially with those photos of blooming lusciousness!
If you had a trunkful that's a whole lot of individual bulbs.
I cracked up at your comment on missing the tree clearance. Haha!

Well this is all I have to plant. Had to have orange to match my coop! haha

Mary where they on sale? Come on who wouldn't want flowers like these on package, planted in land of GENTLE rain and NO deer.

 

[ninnymary]

No, they weren't on sale. Paid regular price. But I really don't have room for more. I think I can handle planting 10 bulbs, haha.

plant them in flowerpot & wait for them to grow if you don't have the ground space.
