I got my mixed giant croci today; earlier than expected! Nice-looking bulbs.

After making one experimental hole, I decided the ground needed wetting before I plant them. It may rain this weekend, and if it doesn’t, I’ll have to put out the sprinklers again. Besides, it was 81 degrees, and I’ve had enough of sweating in the yard for this year. I also had to do laundry.

I did, however, get my little sleeping bags into their winter spot. They’ll be out of the wind here, and I dug holes a few inches deep in the stone…I mean…the ground, then put a couple of concrete edgers and a piece of the crabapple we had cut down earlier this year around the bottom, just in case something climbs on top; I don’t want my dudes to fall.
