Good Morning Sunshine!



With the loss of day light savings,

the last 2 mornings have been much brighter.


This morning on the drive into work
the sun came up to light the way.


Yesterday morning I was up earlier enough

to watch the early dawn on a clear morning.








I’m not sure I like the change as I know the sun will

set shortly after I get home.

After a lovely summer, I admit I have to be dragged

kicking and screaming

into the long, cold, short days of winter.

Sigh…

Plant Summer Flowering Bulbs Now!

Do you dream of a summer garden filled with lovely gladiolus, freesia, lilies and alliums? Why not plant the bulbs now and enjoy their blooms this summer. It's easy! Just follow these simple steps for a lovely summer garden!





1) Dig the soil to the proper depth as listed on the bag of bulbs. If you are planting them all in one small area, use a shovel. If you are planting them individually, scattered through out the garden, use a bulb planter to plant your bulbs.

2) Sprinkle bonemeal fertilizer into the hole where you are planting the bulbs.

3) Place the bulb in the hole with the pointed end up and cover with soil.

4) No need to water, let Mother nature take care of that. Just wait for the flowers to come up for beautiful summer blooms! Then enjoy!



Happy Gardening!
