Today was the last day of planting bulbs. Miniature daffodils (naturalizing) and species tulips all in the lawn. As is the case with my other bulbs I choose older and antique varieties.

Yes it’s stinzenplanten planting season.

I am somewhat obsessed with the old European bulb lawn of it all.

So I planted a little over 350 more bulbs today. It’s super easy to do. You just kind of wedge up sections of the lawn like you’re cutting turf or sod or even peat. I plant in like oblong shapes and circles and then I just popped the bulbs in, tucked the lawn back into place and we’re done.

Then I used up my last 8 bales of pine straw from Mid-Atlantic Pine Straw Mulch. I do NOT put the straw around my roses or beds next to the house. Around acid loving plants and the woodland and shade beds. In between I helped wrangle a rooster 🤣

This year I would say that I added close to 500 more bulbs scattered all over.
