In many ways I am a novice gardener. I inherited a lot of plants from the previous owner of my home and am gradually learning how to care for them. Sometimes, I think I am working too hard and there must be an easier way to accomplish my gardening tasks.

Today, I decided to plant the daffys that I inherited and had moved to containers because they were located on the street level of my property and I was just driving by them and pulling into the garage and heading upstairs and never taking the time to enjoy them.

It seemed like it would be a simple task, but it took hours ! To get the bulbs out of the container, I finally just turned it upside down on a tarp and sifted through the soil that was in the container to find the bulbs. There were fewer bulbs than I had planted and lots and lots of roots with no bulbs attached. I did manage to find many bulbs with active root growth and those were the bulbs I planted.

I have several more containers of bulbs. Is there an easier way to address this task ?

Smiles,
Lyn
I'd rather weed than dust ... the weeds stay gone longer.
