Planted lots of bulbs today, lots of pinks and mauves.
I wanted some that bloomed in Spring but also heading in to Summer too.
Last weekend, when I was covering the hospital on Sunday, OH had reorganised an area and planted a large variegated Holly, a topiary balled Ilex and an Aucuba variegated. So we had space for bulbs en masse.

Pink and mauve shades are so pretty. Lots to look forward to!

Sounds like OH did a good job Kate. Hope the bulbs do really well for you.

Oh, you've reminded me to do something with mine! Enjoy your rearranged garden, Kate.

Thank you, Sheila! I admit, it took a little while to choose which ones I'd like best!

Thanks Julia, hope you enjoyed planting yours out! Thank heavens I found my bulb planter!

Thanks Karen. I chose the vivid pink ones first - definitely went in my basket with no qualms.

Thank you, Linda! It's a sort of first for us. We have alliums, snowdrops and crocus..others we've tried with not much luck. So fingers crossed!
OH likes formality in the front and back! I have to often sneak an ornamental grass or a non compact plant in!
Think he enjoyed it though!

going to have to put mine in pots! I waited too late into Nov. and now the ground is frozen. I keep planting but very few emerge... then I noticed that other bulbs I planted seemed to do very well..but never tulips. I think I have a gourmet squirrel living here abouts.

You've been so busy with do many other things, Lori, all of a sudden, the weather changes and as you say, the ground freezes.
You'll have a lovely display of bulbs in pots I'm sure. Plus, it does sound like you're keeping one or 2 happy squirrels stocked up for winter ; -)
