I put Terry to work today also. We had ordered about 200 bulbs from Burpee and they came via UPS yesterday. I handed her a trowel and a shovel (short handle version, actually a spade cause at 4'11" that's about all she could handle) and told her to put them where she wanted in the flower beds. Some were checkered lilies and others were daffodils. She also had six mums that needed to be put in the soil.
The mums went in the bed where the zukes were and the checkered lilies went in the shaded area up by the front door.
The daffodils also went in the bed near the front door but further out where they will get more sun.
We still have two bags of mixed wild flower bulbs that will be planted among the trees behind the bird feeders. I've been slowly removing some of the pencil thin saplings that have been crowding that area so there's a bit more sun shining on it and more visibility too. With any luck, there won't be scads of stone just beneath the surface and these small bulbs will pop up in a multitude of color in the spring.
