With this short reprieve in the weather, I was finally able to get the rest of the bulbs planted! That's a relief! There was more to do than I had remembered.
I put 4 daffodils, Narcissus 'Obdam' (white, double) by the mailbox, along with 3 of the tulips, Easter Joy mix. The ground was a bit frozen and hard on top, but still soft underneath. I put the remaining daffodil and tulips (1 and 2, respectively,) on the back slope, sort of behind the blueberry bush to the far right.
I also still had the Trumpet Mix daffodils to plant (5), so I put them on the slope between the middle garden terrace and the aspen on the right side. And then, I had probably 10 more crocuses to plant, along with 3 or 4 tulips that had gotten dug up from the back flowerbed when I was planting the new shrub. Those went on the back slope, behind the shed, in some of the dry patches. I hope that they will brighten up that gray dry dirt over there, come spring.
Phew! It was not warm--probably high 30's--but Jacob and I bundled up good, and got it done. Now we're ready for snow FOR REAL.
