Re: perennials DIGEST V2 #5


Cherryl:
I ran around the house until I found the article I remembered.  It was
in County Living Gardener October 1997 and is called Mapping a Garden:
Spring-flowering Bulbs.  They take a border and show the effect through
the season.  I spent about a month trying to figure out how to plant my
two 10'x4' bulb beds.  I was going crazy but I do that to myself.  I
stressed about which companions would look good and the spacing, size
and color.  
When I planted the bulbs I kept pretty close to my plan in one bed and
went a little wild in the next bed based on which bulbs I had at hand. 
One of my orders has not even shipped to me yet!  
The depth of planting was pretty consistent from each source I read but
the spacing was quite different.
Good luck and have fun and I'll let you know what happens in the spring.
