It's been a while since I wrote a blog on here. I've been extremely busy with hunting and all.

I just wanted to say Merry Christmas to everyone with an emphasis on Christ-mas. Remember the reason that we celebrate Christmas is because of the birth of our savior Jesus Christ.

Bulbs Made it Under the Wire

Submitted by garden lady on Sun, 12/07/2008 - 3:21pm.

The last time I wrote, I was on my way out to plant the last tulip bulbs and of course the mytery bulbs that either were dropped and or were dug up by mistake or just misplaced. I always find a few bulbs that roll out of the package or I drop as I am heading out and I have a pot on the shelf in my garage called the loners. I can tell what they are but not the color. Who cares. The weather man was predicting snow starting late in the afternoon. I put on some heavy clothes to keep warm as the temperature was dropping.
