But, I still thought it was darn hard work! Maybe that's because I have a very clay-y soil -- if I had as much time as I have interest, I would try making some pots out of it. Spading out a bed, then, is not easy work, as I have to separate out the valuable (but thin)layer of top soil, and then add black dirt that I either buy by the bag or schlepp from other, less clay-y parts of our property. <br />So --- 250 bulbs had me beat.Austringernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244795287829179583.post-89236130447584838972009-10-06T22:16:28.399-07:002009-10-06T22:16:28.399-07:00hahahhahaha, you're describing the way I plant...hahahhahaha, you're describing the way I planted the bulbs you sent me.....dig a big hole (I made it too deep initially) throw the bulbs in (making sure they're right side up of course) and covered them over.<br /><br />by the way, I only lost 1 very small fan. The rest are nice and green and happy in their hole in the ground.MightyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02563721884001643857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244795287829179583.post-11945273088150577572009-10-06T17:32:50.540-07:002009-10-06T17:32:50.540-07:00Austie - I don't do the little bulb digger thi...Austie - I don't do the little bulb digger thingy. I hack up a big hole, throw in between 5 and 15 bulbs, and kick the dirt back over. Quick and dirty. None of this one by one carp for moi.<br /><br />I can do 250 bulbs in about 30 minutes. Last year I did about 800 and it took me about an hour and a half.Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562944653624224107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244795287829179583.post-45427969689081906552009-10-06T17:30:08.908-07:002009-10-06T17:30:08.908-07:00Thanks, Gina...Thanks, Gina...Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562944653624224107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244795287829179583.post-12760735933181154302009-10-06T15:53:03.692-07:002009-10-06T15:53:03.692-07:00250 bulbs?

Still, the show in springtime made it seem worthwhile, or almost so.Austringernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244795287829179583.post-80936070130894752562009-10-06T06:09:17.962-07:002009-10-06T06:09:17.962-07:00Good luck!
