>> I *think* my game plan is to outline the beds with bulbs
Cool! Like highlighting or underlining.
I read about a suggestion for detrmining whether your big lawn needed more lime or a particular nutrient. Take your fertilizer spreader, and spread lime or phosphate down only in one big word " L I M E " or " P " . Later that summer, if you can read that word in greener grass, you need more lime.
>> thanks for being sensitive in case I preferred another option.
Thank you! I just know that I don't know. I would say that It is a lot like gardening: bigger and grander than one person or any one description can fully encompass. I just hope that It is patient with my ideas about it!
P.S. For once, we've drifted back on topic. After all, the thread title is "OMG!"
