Well, crocus are small so they hardly count right? I have a really speedy method of planting them. I use a soil knife or a really skinny pointy trowel. Stick it at a slight angle. twist upright and hold in place. Leaves a gap then insert crocus bulb, (using your other hand) release and pat down. Its a variation of the way very small seedling shrubs and trees are planted en mass. It is really fast and easy. I did my rose garden with 500 crocus this way last fall, it was done in a snap. Worse part was getting attacked by the roses as I was working.

Unfortunately that was the area the squirrels dug up the crocus so I have to redo it. I will mulch immediatly after planting there this time so the squirrells don't see them.

And its going to be doable because this stuff I have already ordered are from places ship early September. So by the time those ones from the places that ship mid late October come, the first batch will be done and planted. It has to be so I can get the rest done. That's my plan and I am sticking to it!
