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?


This causes a lot of confusion here as banterers are apt to assume that
everybody is in the UK.
