Planting forever
I ordered 200 bulbs recently. They were a free offer; I had to pay only the postage. They arrived last week and I have yet to plant them; I have yet to decide where to plant them. There are ten different sorts including tulips, anemones, alliums. The others I've not come across before. They are all small bulbs so I could plant them in pots this year.
Today I planted forty-nine onion sets; there were fifty in the packet but one was mouldy. I hope the birds or the neighbours' cat don't dig them up. There will be daily onion inspection for the next two weeks.
Thought for today
Why would a Japanese package of coffee have the name Ease Your Bosoms? The answer, most certainly, is an inept rendering of the English phrase "Take a load off your chest."

That many bulbs will provide you with lots of colour!
I'm not doing onion sets until the spring. If they are dug up at least it's easy enough just to push them back.
The thought for today made me smile! xx
