Arriving home after visiting the market, there are four boxes of bulbs
on my doorstep. Wow, I did not realize I ordered that much. My door is simply
barricaded!
After carrying the boxes inside I immediately unpack the boxes. Oh, I
love these brown paper bags full of bulbs. There is a promise in each bulb. I
find a small note of my bulb supplier. He writes: "I have added a few extra
bags of bulbs. I hope to disorganize your plant schedule." Disorganize? He
is always mocking me.
So I am puzzling how to fit the extra bulbs into my colour scheme. I study
the pictures of my garden, to see exactly in which period which tulips bloom.
Oh, how beautiful the garden was in April ......
Next day I start planting. But at the end of the day still no empty
boxes! I tell my younger daughter about the bulbs and she offers to help me
planting right away. An assistant, helping me planting bulbs? I accept
immediately!
For those of you that have not yet ordered bulbs, there are probably
still some bulbs left in Jan Deen’s shed! After all the planting season runs
until December.
And a garden without bulbs ..... you will surely regret this next spring!
My door is simply barricaded!
Iris reticulata.
There is a promise in each bulb.
Orange tulips....
Narcissus in lemon colour.
Fritelaria imperealis.
All colours are beautiful.
I have to plant many...
Thousands..
But in spring I never regret this hard labour.
White garden.
And a garden without bulbs ..... you will surely regret this next spring!
Thanks for hosting
Dear Hetty, I love your walkway to your front door and the door itself! It looks so beautiful and romantic!
ReplyDeleteI admire that you are planting so many bulbs each year. It must be a heck of a work, but as you said well worth it. Your garden looks fantastic in spring, with all the bulbs showing their pretty flower heads and I can't wait to see it next year in spring, again!
Happy bulb planting, I am glad that you got help from your daughter.
Warm regards,
Christina
It will be exciting to see the garden in spring with all the beautiful flowers!

Ik ben dus zo eentje die dit altijd vergeet in de herfst en daar achter komt in het voorjaar...
ReplyDeleteWat zal het genieten zijn bij jou in het nieuwe jaar, een ware bloemenexplosie!
Ik hoop dat mijn bollekes die ik altijd gewoon in de grond laat zitten (lui hé) weer hun best doen voor mij in het voorjaar en ondertussen lekker vermeerderd zijn, zoals de sierui. Maar zo'n heel veld witte tulpen is ook wel héél mooi....
Liefs, Peetje
