Gosh no, those aren't my tulips inward the picture, but I certain intend they are pretty too I desire some for my ain garden. I saw these tulips too many others on the grounds of the Indianapolis Museum of Art this week. They planted hundreds of thousands of bulbs final autumn too a few mix-ins this boundary for a big demo they telephone call upwards Spring Blooms.
It actually is a big show.
I posted on Facebook that if yous alive inside 100 miles of the IMA, drib what yous are doing too caput out in that place to run into the tulips before they are gone. I hateful it.
Though they've planted a broad diverseness of tulips to extend the blooms for every bit long every bit they can, nosotros all know they volition hold out gone likewise soon, every bit this has been too continues to hold out 1 of the fastest moving Springs that I tin remember.
Never convey I been to a greater extent than tempted to flora before than I commonly flora than I convey been tempted this year.
I fifty-fifty went past times the local greenhouse before today simply to run into what they had. I ended upwards buying some petunias too browallias. In April! I've never bought annuals this early on before, other than violas too pansies. But I was afraid if I didn't snatch them upwards straight off all the early on birds would instruct my worms... I hateful flowers.
I haven't potted them upwards yet, but I volition shortly enough. I suppose if nosotros convey a big mutual coldness snap, I tin pose them inward the garage or deed them upwards simply about the household since they volition probable destination upwards inward containers.
In other news, Debra Prinzing of Slow Flowers, 1 of the garden writers I hold off upwards to too am inspired by, wrote a lovely slice almost my petty mass for her site Slow Flowers Journal. I was touched past times what she wrote too couldn't believe some of the former pictures she flora from a few of my commencement GWA: Association of Garden Communicators conferences. Good times those were too to a greater extent than expert times are planned for the side past times side conference inward Buffalo, New York inward August.
In to a greater extent than mass related news, I got the nicest review on Amazon from Ellen Zachos, Backyard Forager. I had the privilege too expert fortune to instruct on a foraging walk alongside her at the IMA final autumn (where yes, nosotros did run into some people planting bulbs) too take away heed her speak. Her passion for foraging nutrient makes me oculus my flowering Kousa dogwood to run into if it volition convey a expert fruit crop this fall. Those fruits are edible!
My mass is even then on Amazon, waiting for yous to purchase it. Or yous tin click on the link on the sidebar to purchase a re-create straight from me, either softcover ($20) or hardback ($27). That includes transportation too handling. I usually ship books out the side past times side concern day. Sometimes the same concern day. Potted too Pruned is also available on Amazon UK and I hold off forwards to individual "across the big pond" beingness the commencement to purchase it over there.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I postulate to leave of absence too dig upwards to a greater extent than weeds.
With a shared beloved of gardening,
Carol
