Last fall I happened to be in the right place at the right time. Glen and I had had big, ugly bushes removed from the front of our house, and we hadn't planted grass in the bare spot yet. I've always, always, always wanted tulips, hundreds of tulips in my front yard. However, we're in a major deer zone, so that was out of the question.I was in Sam's Club (rare occasion indeed!) and spotted a bag of 100 daffodil bulbs for under $20. Perfect! I had done enough research to know that deer are not fond of daffodils, and if I can't have tulips, then daffodils are the second best.
So, I bought the bag. Planted 100 bulbs. 100. Oh, was I sore! I was praying that I had planted them deep enough, far enough apart and that all that work would not be for naught.
Out my front door this morning I'm seeing some green shoots! I'm so excited! Nathaniel said today, "Mom there are, like a hundred of these shoots. How many did you plant?"
I couldn't help but laugh.
I cannot wait until those flowers show their sunny, cheerful blooms!
I'll be sure to post a picture.

Oh that would be beautiful to see! We have a few tulips poking up, but you just inspired me to plant more come fall!
You will love to see those daffodils, use to have hundreds when I lived out there and it was beautiful!! Hope more pictures will be coming.
