Bulbmania

Dave's GardenSpeaking of shopping.

Carrie Lamont posted this essay on ordering spring bulbs on Dave's Garden, one of the most popular and helpful garden Websites out there.

In it, she promises herself to keep her color sheme - and her budget - in mind.

Me? I don't have a color scheme. Or, it seems, a budget. I wonder if I can order one of each on line?

The essay was very helpful and made me feel like less of a clueless gardening dork.

Reggie! You are not a clueless gardening dork!--Susan

Sorry, I just found this. The photo you used was actually taken by Dave's Garden member Cottage_Rose, but I did make sure to order some tulips just like them for my orange-and-blue scheme!

Carrie

Thanks, Carrie!!!--Susan

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
