Not that I’m bitter or anything …
by Zia ~ April 21st, 2006. Filed under: House.Last year, I wanted to plant masses of bulbs in the front yard. I imagined froths of hyacinths and daffodils poking their heads up spring after spring, tons of tulips for cut flowers. But no. “It’s not in keeping with a Japanese garden,” sniffed Steve in disdain. So I resigned myself to planting five or six bulbs in the ground, and the rest in pots. And we all know that I kill plants when they’re in pots. There’s a reason that Steve calls them Zia’s Torture Chambers.
So what happened this year? Steve “discovered” the joys of bulbs. He planted flat after flat of ‘em. He dragged me to McClendon’s to get the more exotic types of bulbs. He’s even ordered a bunch of them online. And when I complained? “I’m so glad I thought of putting bulbs in the front yard,” he said.
