Morning people,

Air is cool, coffee is good, autumn is beautiful -- winter is coming.

Sounds like you are having the same kind of morning that I am. Easy day today, just going to enjoy the last of them.

Maybe a BBQ today.....

Enjoy

I have 100 + daffodil bulbs to plant, but we had a light rain on Thurs. so the digging should be fairly easy. Brecks has some really great bulbs - I am becoming a daffodil addict. In addition to the plantings around the house and across the front lawn, about 500 ft along the road is planted with a double row of yellow trumpet daffodils. It's really striking in the spring. Best part - the deer don't eat them.

Sounds beautiful....
Glad deer don't eat them, wonder if you can plant daffodils to protect other stuff from deer, like a daffodil fence to disguise the other plants?
They don't eat some kinds of astribe either.

I remember doing jobs like that sourland. I went out and purchased a 3" auger (feed auger) with a 1/2 chuck. I would run it off a gas power drill. When you hit a root or something, yep you learned fast about letting go. They are a nice looking flower in either a mass or small clusters. For your better half (your princess), you should make her a heart on your lawn with they. Every year you would have a flower heart.

Enjoy your day

Planted 91 - have another 40 to go. Biggest problem is that my beds are already filled with bulbs so I must dig carefully so as not to ruin bulbs already there - only sliced one today. Gnats were horrendous this afternoon.

Are you sing that beer/bulb song? 99 bulbs in the bag, 99 bulbs in the bag, take one out and stick in the hole, 98 bulbs to go.....

On another note, do you put bonemeal in with the bulbs when you plant them?

 

[sourland]

Do not add the bonemeal, but have been thinking that I need to start feeding with something even though they have been doing great. Everything that I have purchased from Breck's has done really well.

Good morning chicken wranglers,
I see all have been busy. Daffodil's are great spring greeting . they are so pretty in February that they almost sing. I know that this is morbid but I will butcher the turkeys and the ducks soon for meat. The turkeys are so tame that they let you lift them up, and the ducks are just an irritation so killing will not bother me at all. The last time I butchered the turkeys I shot them all so I would not have to chase them this time it will be easy, at least they do not have names. We always name the animals that we raise for meat It does not bother the children to eat Herc burger or whomever we are eating today.

God Bless!
