I promised I would not buy any Spring bulbs this year. I go thru this every year in Fall. Whistling
Well the prices dropped to 50 % off locally and I could not resist Thumbs up so Lowes and ACE hardware got some of my money and I saved SOOOOOOO much nodding So proud of myself.

And I only bought about 300 or so bulbs of ~ 12 things. Sooooooo I did show restraint. Now I just have to get them in the ground! So little time as I just finished winterizing my Crape myrtles 9 of em now.

Maybe tomorrow. Maybe not. it is SO freaking cold. Heh

@Deebie Four years ago I bought and planted 1,500 bulbs. Sticking tongue out
Some times I get carried away. Of course I always feel that way when I am on bulb number 799. Heh

Yes. But Tulips here are almost annuals due to deer, et cetera eating the bulbs. So lots of my purchases are for Daffodils which replace where I had tulips. This year I am only planting ~ 64 Tulips.

Since I live in a Dutch community that has an annual tulip festival, and I'm not Dutch, I plant daffodils and alliums and no tulips Whistling Whistling Whistling I'm sure all of your bulbs are gorgeous in spring nodding nodding

Planted 13 more pots to force from Brent and Becky's half off sale. These will go into tubs in the covered stairwell to basement.

Question - after they have been forced, can you then plant them outside in the Spring? Just curious.
