Thanks. I am sure the tulips from those classes that are supposed to be perennial will really return. But it is always nice to know for sure.

Bulbs all over the living room floor now as I am sorting.

Yep. Pompons. Rolling on the floor laughing I saw that hat and I just HAD to buy it!

Still sorting my tulips but I will be done soon. So I plan on starting to plant on Monday. Am wanting to get that second window done in the kitchen tomorrow so that my kitchen curtains match!

Too old for mouse ears. Heck, probably too old for pom poms too but I don't care. Rolling on the floor laughing

Oh and I remember the mousekateers and Micky Mouse Club. Used to watch it but that sure was a longggggg time ago.

Have three no ID clematis coming from a mamajack sale. Am trying to think of a way to put a short, more horizontal trellis up in this new (memorial) bed on the right; don't want to block the view into the rest of the yard. Suggestions?

I think you could make bamboo tepees at any height you might want. But for short I think the perfect solution would be those plant hoops that one uses for perennials that flop. Short but would give the vines something to climb on and keep them off the ground.

My goal for today was to get that second kitchen curtain up. It's up. Of course had to wash the woodwork and walls around the window and had to wash the window. So more than just changing curtains. But it is time to take a break in the house cleaning and start on the bulb planting. So the push today to get that curtain up and have my new kitchen curtains up.

Yesterday I started planting my bulbs but I really did NOT get much done! Guess I was just not switched to bulb planting mode. I am glad it was a much nicer day weather wise today as I was back out there digging and planting. Did much better today, got lots done. But my living room still looks like I haven't done a thing with piles of bulbs all over the place. And I mean everywhere. Hilarious!

Tomatoes. I am just astounded to pick so many tomatoes on October 16th. And if I paid more attention and got more of them before rains make them crack, I would have had even more. But this time of year, this is plenty!

And the Juliet Grape tomatoes just never stop. I picked these two bags. There were more on the plants, I just got tired of picking.

I am so tired now, I can barely drag myself around. Been working all day planting bulbs. Unfortunately no where near done yet! Sad
