Walked into Walmart last night and just inside found a $1.00


bin full of Daffodils, Crocus and Tulips. Packages of 9 and


18. I am not sure where I am gong to plant them as I planted


48 Daffodils earlier this week. I just could not pass them


up. Any other fall finds out there?




so far just several cases of canning jars for free.



i avoid buying these types of plants/bulbs as they

often are not stored in anything even close to decent

conditions. examining them often finds dried or damaged

bulbs. some may grow out ok, but those that are dried

up too much won't do much other than be a source of

organic material for the soil critters.



if your ground doesn't freeze deeply you should be ok

planting winter bulbs up until the end of December (but for

best growth it is better to plant them earlier).

Even at that I had to buy those poor little things for a dollar.
The ground here doesn't freeze here until January and then barely. I will get them in soon
