Kids! My bulbs are coming in! I looked down off the front porch this afternoon to see the very distinct shoots of my crocus, alium & big red tulips. Bulbs are an excellent lesson in patience.
Richmond, please do not freeze my plantlets. I know it's February. I don't ask you for a lot of favors. I'm not saying it needs to be 70 every day, but if we could skip the single digit temperatures, that'd be awesome.
In celebration, I got grass seed
which I have every intention of simply scattering on the ground, figs, small roses & concord grapes. The roses and grapes will stay inside for awhile (probably till the end of March
per this handy data set), and I'm not sure how figs handle cold. Can I plant them now?
