When I lived in Nyack, awash in more deer than Bambi's nature preserve, there was no way I could ever grow them. <BR/><BR/>And I tried.<BR/><BR/>I should plant some up here in the farthest reaches of Smalbania.<BR/><BR/>I have heard that bulb story before and it continues to stir me. Brilliant. <BR/><BR/>Back in Nyack there was a house with a big slope in front of it... It would start a bright yellow sea of daffodils, then change to iris as the summer progressed. It was so lovely.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181529277715646835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-70709386732084934352008-06-13T09:40:00.000-04:002008-06-13T09:40:00.000-04:00I'm jealous. I tried to plant tomatoes yesterday....I'm jealous. I tried to plant tomatoes yesterday. Even with the mattock I could not dig a hole deep enough to plant anything. As most of the rain has managed to pass around us, the ground is rock hard which, combined with the rocks that I seem to grow better than anything else, makes making a dent nearly impossible. The tomatoes will be planted by a neighbor and will hopefully yield huge striped heirloom fruits eventually. <BR/><BR/>My first daylily bloomed yesterday - a spot of yellow among the as yet untrimmed grasses. Thank God for flowers, especially the yellow ones like dandelions and colts foot which remind us that winter doesn't last forever and sunflowers which feed much of God's creation.PseudoPiskiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12070541512355253553noreply@blogger.com
