Hundreds and hundreds of fall bulbs.<\/p>\n

I’m not a gardener. And landscaping (mostly consisting of gravel and native plants to replace the lawn) wasn’t supposed to begin until next year.<\/p>\n

Then Neighbor J. went to Costco and went crazy. Insanity must have been contagious because I ended up committing to buy about 1\/3 of the billions and billions of mega-pack bulbs she purchased.<\/p>\n

I’m not ready for this. The dirt — which was going to be pickaxed, then artfully heaped next summer — isn’t ready for this. I’m going to be digging through grass with my itty-bitty little trowel to get these puppies under ground.<\/p>\n

But the mid-October weather promises to be fair and favorable. So I guess I’d better get ready and get to work.<\/p>\n

The packets consist of various alliums (including Allium Gladiator, which grows five feet tall), a selection of miscellaneous deer-resistant flowers, and a large bag of daffodil bulbs (which I didn’t buy, but which Neighbor J gifted to me when — I’m assuming here — she began to grok the reality of what she’d gone and gotten herself into).<\/p>\n
