New Bulbs . . .

Just got all the bulbs I've received planted, not sure how they are going to do so many of them I think I waited too long to plant, but I think most should do well.  The Toad Lilies are plants with roots, the other lilies I got were bulbs.  The Angelique begonia was like a button but I hope I planted it right and it comes up, I just got it a few days ago so it should be ok.  I watered it in and finally poked holes in that pot so it drains.  Can't wait for them to start coming up.  The ones I worry the most about it the hostas, that's the one the dog got but some of them look pretty viable so we'll see.  Pictures when they start to come up!  Woot!  Fingers crossed!

C'mon Mother Nature!

We had a horrible storm last night, a brutal one.  I bet we got 6" of rain.  Now it's all muddy again and puddly.  I was going to go out and plant the bulbs I got so far but it's too miserable out there.  Tomorrow will be clear and cool but of course it'll take days for the water to subside.  SO pissed and we're about to freeze ... it turned off cold last night.  Supposed to only be 41 tonight.  BUT when I do get the bulbs planted I'll FINALLY have my toad lilies, summer lilies, my angelique begonia got here yesterday ... just gorgeous bulbs that will come up year after year (count on it!).  So with that in mind I'll go wait for Spring to kick back in.
