Give it six days. That's how long it took to create the universe.

You haven't given them enough Scouse Juice

Why did you wait so long to post? You should have gotten online within seconds
after putting the bulbs in the ground. If you had no results by then, it was way
too late.

Doug,

No problem in this part of Zone 5.

It's been so unnaturally warm this fall that my bulb are all sending out
shoots. So are my Irises. Glad I didn't plant anything too expensive.

At least I'm having a ball watching the squirrels try to get past the
chicken wire I laid over some of the planting spots. :-) It's driving them
bonkers.

I almost planted earlier. Throughout 20 years of gardening, I've only
planted bulbs a couple of times, and I guess I got lucky in the past - no
early growth. This year, I've been stopping at a certain garden store for
endless bags of mulch. (My house came with the tacky artificially colored
red stuff). The lady is telling everyone who walks in the door to wait
before planting bulbs. Finally, this weekend, she said NOW!

Oh, those are just the diversion squirrels. The other squirrels are busy
digging a tunnel from 40' back thataway. It even has little squirrel lights
and a trolly track in it, a la Stalag 13.

Impatiens are grown from seed, not bulbs. Are you sure you didn't
plant turnips?

Not Impatiens, you silly toad.

He's growing impatient with his bulbs.

Its a pun, you wart monger.

Take a deep breath. Read what I meant, not what I wrote. It's a word thing.

Yes, I got the joke. Yes, I know you were talking about bulbs. Yes, I
know the difference between Impatiens and impatience. Thought
"turnips" would be a clue. Evidently not.
