Now is the time to plant spring-blooming bulbs! We all love to see
those first pops of colour after a dreary winter, so do your future
self a favor and plant a nice array of bulbs in your garden. Here
is a link to a great bulb how-to put together by our staff here at
Get into Gardening! Let us know if you have any questions and
we’ll be glad to help you out and get you closer to having a yard
full of beautiful bulb flowers. Happy planting!

SPAM! The time to plant spring bulbs where I live is in the autumn
-- October or November.


Rather amatuer spam methinks - I didn't see the aforementioned link.

That said are you under the impression that there are no northern
hemishpere spammers? I ask because I fail to see the logic in
calling a post spam because it's a different season where you live.


The cited link was missing from the original message. A quick search
on the phrase "Get into Gardening", however, reveals that it is a
commercial business based in the U.K. The original message in this
thread was posted via gardenbanter.co.uk. Thus, the originator and I
both have the same seasons at the same time.


Stranger than fiction!!!

Damn that Gardenbanter - I dare say they're leeching my messages to add to
their poxy site. Sad when you have to leech from usenet - what's the point
of having the site?
