Daffodils Sprouting

I remember hearing that maple sap should be running when the daffodils sprout … I guess our daffodils were late this year. The daffodils we planted along the driveway are sprouting up, and we found new daffodils at the farm house.

Bulbs For Next Year

The fall planted bulbs are in bloom, and we know what grew well here (and what didn’t — wild tulips survive well here, but the big, beautiful Dutch tulips become a rodent buffet. I’ve tried mixing them with other bulbs to no avail. As much as I love the Dutch tulips, I’m not buying more this year.). It’s time to put in an order for this Autumn. I order bulbs from both ColorBlends and Old House Gardens. This year we’ll be planting daffodils:
