I still hope that wildflowers grow in our side garden next year, but I want to try and bulk up the large space with some perennials. We bought a total of 180 daffodil and tulip bulbs from COSTCO this week, and also bought six allium bulbs. Our soil is a little bit sandy in this spot, so we tried to add compost to the soil before planting all of the bulbs this weekend. I'm nervous that we might not have added enough compost, but hopefully the bulbs will do alright. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next spring.

those 3 are my favorite, FAVORITE kinds of spring bulbs! i hope they work out for you - we have way too many squirrels around digging up our bulbs...grrrr...I just planted about 40 crocuses which i love too, i just wish they lasted longer! :)
hey- this has nothing to do with flowers. or maybe it does. Here is an assignment someone posted about. Have you ever heard of anything like this???
The first assignment in my Art History class is as follows:
The La Toilette assignment is as follows:
Spend at least 15 minutes sitting on your toilet. After spending time looking, observing, and being one with the toilet, you are to creatively explain your experience in this location. Your response can be in the form of poetry, a paper describing your toilet in an art full manner, a visual display,or any other format.
