It was an amazing fall

It was an amazing fall.

One twenty-four hours the hotness was 73º F in addition to the side past times side twenty-four hours the hotness was but 43º F.  If always 1 was looking for a sign that our amazing autumn of 2016 was over, I suppose that 30º drib inward high temperatures from 1 twenty-four hours to the side past times side was it.

What made this autumn amazing?

It seemed to become on in addition to on amongst fairly moderate temperatures. Even at in 1 lawsuit at that spot are nonetheless leaves on the Fothergilla, nonetheless a few brave violas blooming hither in addition to at that spot where they've begun to naturalize themselves, in addition to the final of the autumn crocuses are nonetheless blooming.

These autumn blooming crocuses are but every bit slowly to found every bit those that bloom inward the jump in addition to deserve to live on to a greater extent than widely planted.  Of course, I am assuming that jump flowering crocus are widely planted, but I don't intend that's every bit truthful every bit it has been.  I intend people today but don't found bulbs similar they used to. I accept no reason for that statement. I but accept a feel that the numbers of gardeners, similar me, who found hundreds of bulbs every autumn is dwindling.

This fall, I planted bulbs for 300 tulips in addition to 500 Chionodoxa (Glory of the Snow).  That sounds impressive but was slowly to do.

For the tulips, I dug large holes on the ends of the vegetable garden beds in addition to planted almost forty tulips inward each hole. I also dug a similar large hole nigh the front end walk in addition to planted the residual of the tulips there. In the process, at to the lowest degree inward front, I dug upwardly bulbs for reticulated irises in addition to crocuses (which I know are technically corms). I ready those aside in addition to replanted them on hand off of the tulips. There volition live on room for all.

I planted the Glory of the Snow bulbs inward the dorsum lawn. It's easier to create that y'all powerfulness think. I plunge a narrow bladed trowel (technically a rockery trowel) into the ground, line it back, drib a bulb behind it, line it out, pat the dry soil in addition to deed on. After the offset 1 hundred bulbs, I prepare a for certain beat of motion in addition to teach faster until I am done. It took me almost an hour.

I promise our amazing autumn leads agency to a picturesque, storybook winter, amongst occasional snowfall in addition to moderate, for winter, temperatures.  Don't I deserve that? After all, I've done my purpose to ensure an amazing spring.

I planted bulbs.
