Re: Re: Bulb sale

You mentioned "forced"--can you force them? Non-plant persons buy all sorts weird and inappropriate of stuff at Easter. If that date coincides with the Hort Ed's garage sale, you will likely move all potted stuff.

All the Foxtail Lilies sold (Eremurus), most of the daffs and crocus,

were demanding more tulips, so I got more, but they wanted Narcissus
this year. waht can I say?


We really can't plant leftover tulips here, the rodents get them. so i
think I'll be potting them up. The Hort Ed is planning a garage sale for
mid april next year (we used to have them before I became an MG, but not
since then) . So I think some forced bulbs might time out pretty well
for that. I have several Triumph types left and they force well.
However, I wouldn't really call it forcing exactly. Just potting them up
and overwintering the pots. I 'll have to work out the timing for
bringing them out of their hiding place in time to bloom for that sale.

It was beautiful - maybe too beautiful so that people did other things.

Still, we did alright.

Thankfully, we are getting your rain. (It's the first we've had since the

first of September!) I, too, hope that means Kitty has a beautiful day

for her

sale.
