I can see my neighbors rolling their eyes since most of them don't appreciate how natural I am. I'm not a master gardener although I like the idea of those programs, particularly since they involve volunteering in community gardens. I took a fair amount of horticulture classes as electives (not my major or even close) and I took a course in conservation of natural resources. The latter is great when you want to say, I have a habitat garden as opposed to, I have a mess.

Most of my bulbs are in naturalized areas of my garden where I just have to mulch really deep and then rake off the mulch in the spring. However, with the ones that are starting to grow, I really should dig them up as they are probably too confused to make it if I don't.Carverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05968919406427737503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32749386.post-30889904164115284052007-10-30T19:51:00.000-04:002007-10-30T19:51:00.000-04:00what an amazing winter garden you have going on th...what an amazing winter garden you have going on there. I have a very confused tulip that is coming up in my orange tree planter. I know I am supposed to pull those bulbs out; but that seems so much work - digging them out, putting them in a bag and hiding them in the dark. I don't know how you do it out there collecting rain water for your thirsty plants - what an inspiration!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32749386.post-12354472267180352722007-10-30T11:23:00.000-04:002007-10-30T11:23:00.000-04:00Thanks JMB and ah Bong.Thanks JMB and ah Bong.Carverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05968919406427737503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32749386.post-46747931404804628122007-10-30T10:43:00.000-04:002007-10-30T10:43:00.000-04:00u hav wonderful green fingersu hav wonderful green fingersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32749386.post-72629491023237474822007-10-29T23:43:00.000-04:002007-10-29T23:43:00.000-04:00Everything is doing very well here Carver.

If I don't stay on top of it, I won't be able to garden. I covered the boxes this afternoon when my desktop was flashing hard frost warnings at me. It's easy this time of year when we've had a warm fall to forget to stay on top of it and it would be easy to end up with zapped plants.Carverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05968919406427737503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32749386.post-52724510133409051402007-10-29T19:13:00.000-04:002007-10-29T19:13:00.000-04:00oh my..only 8 months until i can dream of gardenin...oh my..only 8 months until i can dream of gardening again...<BR/><BR/>*sigh*karoline in the morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06259618437012951853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32749386.post-19672794104685073432007-10-29T16:54:00.000-04:002007-10-29T16:54:00.000-04:00Thanks Lori.

The get as far as the weedy area which is supposed to be a path and they eat the weeds and never make it to the lettuce and carrots or even bulbs. Squirrels dig up the bulbs sometimes but not too bad since I have so many acorns and pecans they can get. I didn't think you were American bashing at all.Carverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05968919406427737503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32749386.post-35696221084685037732007-10-29T14:59:00.000-04:002007-10-29T14:59:00.000-04:00that is so cool...I learnt a lot on this visit.......that is so cool...I learnt a lot on this visit....I am not a green thumb at all...I really want to be but there is so much to learn...and even my rose bush the deer ate this year...and what they don't eat the bunnies do...or my dog digs them up...so frustrating...but i keep on trying....<BR/><BR/>thanks for your comments on my post today....I hope you didn't feel I was American bashing as I wasn't...like you I was surprised that when then found out about the error they didnt'try to correct it...just seemed so odd...<BR/><BR/>hoping your are having a great day...cheers...Smalltown RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08806734351278128551noreply@blogger.com
