Joels girl friend and I planted about 70 bulbs today. My hands are sore, I'm sunburned and breaking out (I'm allergic to the sun) yet I'm SO glad to have those bulbs in the ground! I have Liatrus, a wide variety of lillies, lady fern, canna lillies, hollyhocks, and oriental poppies started.

I'd underestimated the distance they're supposed to be planted from each other, so the bulbs covered a lot more ground than I'd planned for. I put them the minimum distance from each other, so they'll be nice and thick once they're grown.

What occurred to me tonight is that the hundreds of plants I have sprouting from seed will need to go into NEW beds and we'll need to expand the ones we have now because we filled up the ones we had with bulbs! OMG it's gonna look like a truckload of flowers rolled over in my yard. LOL I love it.
