Granny's gone and done it again

SUUUUUUUUUUUUPER easy peasy. Luckily when I was learning to quilt my instructor would stand over me and every time I put the tool down she'd yell at me. "THAT IS DANGEROUS YOU HAVE SMALL KIDS." So I'm extremely diligent in making sure my cutting path is clear and the blade is always closed when not in use.



but you cant find it. hahahhaaa


It's in a very safe place! :D

Billings, Montana area, zone 4... it surprised me, all right. House sat empty and neglected for 3 years before we got it, so it dates back to before that. Last March it grew a big clump of leaves that died back by June, and that was the last I saw of it. This year it did the leaves again, died back, and suddenly now in mid-August it's sent up 7 big flower stems and is blooming like crazy.

The spot it's in gets VERY hot and dry in summer (only other thing that will grow there is bearded iris, and hyacinth in early spring; during summer everything else struggles).

This is supposed to be a tender bulb not hardy past zone 6, but no one told it. Two winters ago it was -30F here. It leafs up while there's still snow on the ground and getting hard freezes every nighhttp://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/517/#t.

Next year I think I'll try spreading the offshoot bulbs (the mature bulbs are huge, 4" across) to other problem spots where nothing wants to grow.

I think it is a biannual . Not 100% on that.
 
I hear you there!  As much as I loved the elementary our kids went to back in Indiana, I never felt like we were truly accepted by those that were "locals" who had been there for generations --- DD was half way through 1st grade when we moved there and DS was there from K-5 (6 is when they moved into town to the middle/high schools which were huge by comparison given that K-5 had a total of 150 kids). 
Glad you got to feeling better! 

Thought you said you didn't get anything done???



Rice works in these too, but I prefer the flax seeds for their shape/size and the oils in them -- they just provide an overall better result, imo.....but have made these same bags using rice when I didn't have ready access to the flax.


We make rice socks for the puppies. Can't wash them so they just get thrown away.
