You have to write to the Grea...Hello Jennifer girl <br />You have to write to the Great Pumpkin about the no show kids , girl!! haha<br />I understand the brakes on bulbs girl .. most years I am like that .. this year I went totally MAD HATTER and bought too many .. I just hope they all come up so I can see them ?<br />I am so curious to see if the allium seeds you gave me will pop up .. I really want to see them .. I also had 15 large ones from Costco I planted in the same area so fingers crossed.<br />OMG ... I can't imagine a garden of mine without a sumac .. I just happen to have three Tiger Eye ones in various stages of maturity .. baby, toddler, teenager ! haha my toddler had the best show ever this year : ) I meant to ask you if you had ever tried Margaret's slug solution? ... I am so curious to see if it will work !.. I know the copper wire necklace didn't ... argh !!!CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-77026478875790955212015-11-04T08:44:46.546-05:002015-11-04T08:44:46.546-05:00Hope you had a great Halloween Joy.

I so miss the little princesses and goblins at the door!<br />I have all my bulbs in, but sadly it isn't because I am actually organized this year. No, it is because I didn't buy that many. Next spring I am sure I will be sorry I didn't hunt harder for some clearance sale bulbs. But before I dash out and look again, I promised myself I would get a few last minute chores done first. Then maybe I'll add a second round of bulbs.<br />One of the items I wish I had more of is alliums. Won't your garden be nice with the ones you've planted Joy! Alliums are an indispensable bridge between tulips and early perennials.<br />A few weeks ago I saw a Tiger Eye Sumac on sale and bought bulbs instead. After seeing your pretty Sumac in all its fall splendour, I wish I hadn't been so cheap. They take on the most amazing colors don't they?<br />Thanks for the mention by the way! I hope Margaret's hosta slug treatment works for you.

I hope to have lots of great bulbs to photograph come Spring for sure! : )CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-26000287211840966182015-11-02T01:53:20.411-05:002015-11-02T01:53:20.411-05:00Yes, focusing on how the spring bulbs look is a go...Yes, focusing on how the spring bulbs look is a good way to take your mind off of what's to come, that long, dark, cold season whose name we dare not say aloud. Just talked with my niece in Alaska where it's currently snowing. Brrr!

We finally got some rain so it will make planting them easier.Now to get me up and about it. :) Have a lovely week.Lonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07060003333138052194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-76647583787957113212015-10-29T15:09:08.782-04:002015-10-29T15:09:08.782-04:00Lisa girl there isn't anything you can do when...Lisa girl there isn't anything you can do when the ground is that parched and hard .. so there is no use in feeling like a slug girl .. I would be too .. but I seemed to have missed August and September so it sort of spurred me on to get these little missions done .. other wise I would be curled up and snoozing ! LOL<br /><br />Cindee girl I hope you have had some rain by now .. that picture of the Princess walking on such dry ground was sort of sad .. hope it improves !! I can't wait to see what happens either!<br /><br />Hello Nadezda girl and thank you for telling e about your experience with the muscadet lilies .. this is my first try with them and I am hoping I won't see too many beetles !<br />The Sicilian honey/garlic bulbs are a first for me too .. so I have no set expectations with them .. and if they only last one season that is ok with me .. such is garden life!<br /><br />Thanks Diana girl .. it really does feel like my own little Eden .. it is my passion and I love it even through failures with some plans and plants .. it is always a learning experience .. keeps my brain ticking ? LOL<br />Glad you survived the colonoscopy ... the prep is always the hardest thing to do.<br /><br />Patsi girl you will be able to plan around the great little hunters .. you just have to show them who IS BOSS ? LOL .. it will all fall into place .. gardeners can't stop thinking of future plans , although the garden is the only thing I can't think of in those terms.<br />Fingers crossed it will look like I hope it will .. that is the big test between mother nature and I ? haha<br /><br />Thanks Gracie girl ... I couldn't do it without my garden jeans! haha .. I just hope it all turns out like my head sees it .. and yes those Baby Moon are supposed to be very fragrant so I am anticipating some lovely vibes from them : ) Hope all is well with you too!<br /><br />Rose girl I was just over to your place and that gorgeous maple is perfect.<br />Your header picture is always such a stunning illustration of what amsonia can give you in the Fall ... I love it! .. Yes soft earth after the rain falls is what you need for bulb planting ... and next week that remarkable warm spell coming is the bomb ! LOL<br />A planting we will go ! <br />You have to get this sumac and I just know the perfect place will dawn on you when you get it!CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-16342075781327200262015-10-29T09:58:24.396-04:002015-10-29T09:58:24.396-04:00Such beautiful fall color in your garden, Joy, but...Such beautiful fall color in your garden, Joy, but wow, I can't wait to see it in the spring! You can never have too many Casablanca lilies:) I've been trying to plant some bulbs, but it's been so dry here that it was like digging in concrete in some places. We finally had a good rain the last two days, so now I have no excuse--time to get busy! By the way, I don't know if I have mentioned this before, but we have a similar Sumac in the garden where I volunteer, and I have fallen in love with this little tree/shrub. It looks beautiful every season of the year! Now if I can only think of a good place to plant one here...Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-18001252429029031392015-10-28T22:42:17.153-04:002015-10-28T22:42:17.153-04:00For someone who flies by the seat of her gardening...For someone who flies by the seat of her gardening jeans you sure do a good job! Your photos are always so inspirational. I love the bulbs you tucked in. I actually purchased a package of 'Baby Moon' this year because I've heard that they're fragrant. I love that. Your lilies ooh la, la. And those tulips, I can't wait to see everything blooming in your beautiful garden. I hope you're doing well my friend. Love and hugs.

I can say I have Muscadet lily, I planted three of them between rhododendrons and it was very nice: when rhododendrons don't bloom lilies flower long enough time - 2-3 weeks. I also had Sicilian honey and they bloomed short time and were not as tall as I wanted. Last fall I didn't dig them up and they disappeared.Nadezdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159291982383302922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-5566738225222426502015-10-25T22:54:11.439-04:002015-10-25T22:54:11.439-04:00The bulbs are all beautiful!
