The Last Blast of Colour Before Fall Sets In

Join

I am posting late today because Carl and I were out a better part of the day, in the back yard cutting down and digging up plants.
I purchased some purple and pink varigated Tulips, some pink Daffodils and some varigated Narcissis in the back garden
We also have put in some yellow Tulips.
Last year we revamped all of the gardens, front and back. We put in huge beds of bulbs in the front, but we only put one bed of Narcissis in the back, that was left over when we finished the front.
I have to plant all of my bulbs really deep, cuz we have a squirrel problem here.
I lost no bulbs last year to the squirrels, so I was ready to bulb-up the back garden.
So now the garden along our back fence has 6 large beds of bulbs.
I have one bed of bulbs on the side garden.
I may add more on the side later this fall.
I didn't want to over purchase bulbs and have no time to put them in, so I was lean on the bulb shopping while our weeks have been plagued with rain.
We have one corner of the garden(by the waterfall) that is flooded, so it needs another week before we can clean back there.
The front we finished earlier, and our last task for coming weeks is to move a few perennials from near the back wall of the house to other parts of the yard.
I want to take out all the perennials from there, cuz I think we will build a deck in the spring.
(at least I am hoping we can- its always about the money)
The plants below are our last blast of colour.
