Planting Bulbs

The kids and I planted bulbs earlier this week. We'd bought them to plant over Spring Break, but it rained, and rained, and rained ... Anyway, we planted them earlier this week, between rainy days.

We had 20 Gladiola bulbs and 3 Dahlia corms. Conall picked them out -- he picked the bright red Glads and the bright red and white Dahlias -- so like his daddy -- I guess it will be a Razorback garden!

I did most of the digging and my tendinitis is sooooo making me pay for it. I don't know why, but I thought the kids would enjoy digging more -- after the first four or so bulbs, they were done digging. They kept hauling all of my dirt off and really had lots of fun playing in the dirt. Although, I think the most fun was watering the bulbs.

It seems like everyone I know is planting stuff these days. I'm starting to feel left out! Maybe it's time I read Gardening for Dummies. :-)
