this fall you can dig them up and seperate the bulbs.share them with your friends and neighbors,and plant i the spring the ones you wish to keep.
you getting any rain down there? we are in a drought here.

sounds like you need the salt to melt the snow,so you can plant!!
soil here in Missouri is naturally acidic,and low n nitrogen....roses do very well. good luck with all your gardens!

Subject: adding topsoil to clay
works for a while...but after a few monthes the surrounding soil/clay will pull all the nutrients from the added topsoil. good luck.

rule of thumb...underground plants..are planted in the dark of the moon...they are very prone to going to"tops"
Scarlet..yes...Missouri qualifies as both midwest and south.

thats a short growing season...by mid May,we're harvesting green beans,radishes,lettuce,and such.

potatoes...and in my opinion,the best you can eat.
The sooner you can get them in the ground...the better.here in the midwest...they are usually planted during the dark of the moon after St Patricks day.This gives them a full growing season and you'll get more bakers.

Foxy Lady: 1st time II heard it...I thought"no way"
the soil here in the Ozarks consists mostly of rock and red clay,and b planting grass in this fashion,allows the seed plenty of time to germinate.

just before a snow is the best time to plant grass seed.
As the snow melts,it loosens the ground and somewhat buries the seed.

when planting roses(and it helps to fish quite often) I literally plant the fish carcasses 1st,covering with 3 to 4 inches of soil,then planting the bush.This allows the oplant to "grow into" the fertilizer,after planting shock.

absolutly!! and the more oily the fish the better!
early Americans were taught to plant corn by the Indians that way.

if you set your front pallet a foot or so higher than the rest..you can access the bottom of the pile to either use or circulate.

Gordons produce a 2 1/2 to 4 inch flower,and will bloom all year if you keep them fertilzed.Time release granules work well :)

having gardened for 30 years...you learn one or two thngs.
select your plants based on your needs.then observe the amount of sunlight your garden area recieves.then on the selected plants...see what type of soil requirements there are,and sunlight requirements.If your unsure of the soil..take a sample in to your local land mgmt office...here in the states we have the dept of agriculture.
this save a tremendous amount of backbreaking work.
be sure your garden has good drainage,as rainy seasons can rot everything,and I strongly reccomen NOT waterering your garden.it will own you.a simple quick hoe,threw the rows in the morning hours,will trap dew and prevent weed growth.Mother nature will take care of th rest...with the exception of long dry spells. good luck:)
