Spring Bulb DISPLAY

One of the marketing companies I get info from suggested putting a spring bulb flyer in the August Statement, which just went out.  (Without a flyer because I don't have any yet).  But it is time for all of us to start thinking about our spring displays.  

We have lots to think about, because in addition to our own properties, we have to consider the guerilla garden triangle.  Tulips are out because the deer practically have ownership of that area of town.  Do you think we could plant daffodils deep enough that the salt and stuff wouldn't get them?  And what is a garden without allium?  We have to plant allium to ASSURE we do not get a garden club award next year.  That's my current drug induced theory - its the allium.  It could be you know.  No garden on main street that had allium in it got an award.  If allium pops up in  all the main street gardens next year - that would be a great guerilla gardening feat.  

Here's a website to check out www.springdisplays.com for some ideas(login spring and password displays).  I especially like the tulip "blends" section. 

Now, I lied in the last post because I also feel very strongly about spring bulbs, so you really don't want to get me started on this topic.  You all need them and it needs to be a DISPLAY a la 139 Main.  Thats the dirty girl official company policy.   
Happy planning!

It gives new meaning to 'garden bed'.

We've found that planting members of the allium family with tulips will deter the deer....so, lets go for allium, tulips and daffs in the triangle! There are sooo many alliums...from small yellow to tall purple globes. Screw the blind judges....

On another note....the Tilley's went away for 4 days without asking someone to water pots and take in mail....maybe the garden club ladies were right after all...
The Walmart bag with a package hanging off the mailbox since noon Friday was a really nice compliment to the pots of flowers drying up on the other side of the driveway!

Who knew that the sun would actually shine for more than 20 minutes at a time?

Did anyone notice that the package was from the Police Department from Seward, Alaska?

What are you getting from the police in Alaska? What did Emma DO?
