Bulbs are certainly one of the best garden buys. Even the
most hopeless gardener can get a great display, at least for the first year after
planting. That's because the first flower is already formed in the bulb when you buy it.
So even if planted in the shade, it will still flower. |

witchety grub surfaces for air. |

bulbs out of their mail order packaging and allow them to air in a dark well-ventilated
place. |

I'm often reminded how healthy gardening is and how good it is
for you. It's a wonder the Health Insurance Companies don't offer subsidies to gardeners
or encourage gardeners to join their funds. Imagine a free pair of Felcos™ for every
gardener to join! |
