i have had some changes at my house, tearing out some ancient dogwoods in my flower garden and also getting rid of my chickens, leaving me w a denuded yard to deal w.
plus about to build a new hugelpile.

i have about a doz stargazers that are my pride and joy. i tried to grow them in a shady spot for yeeeeers, and only got sad blooms on sad plants. but i stuck some in my main, very sunny garden, and lordy. i want to add as many as i can afford.

i also want to naturalize some daffodils on my new pile and elsewhere. just cuz piles r for veggies, doesnt mean it can have a little spring joy. it’s no till, so it’s no problem.

this company is holland based, and has some damn good prices. the stargazers r about $2. thought i’d see if anyone here has heard of them before i order.

anyone else plotting some spring blooms?

1. Just asked Mr. FalloutShelter, who used to work at one of the

largest seed suppliers in the country. He used to do business with this company and says they are great to work with, and their bulbs are quality.

2. Yes. I have gotten bulbs from them.

For me their catalogue ( used to be sent to the house not online) was like Victoria’s Secret catalogue was for many men.

3. I bought milweed plants that were

covered in white flies and aphids. They are still quarantined and I'm still watching everything else. I'll never buy from them again.

They have quality bulbs and often add more than the order.

6. Open the box and put it in an unheated shed or garage and if possible wait until the weather ...

.... cools off a little bit. I like espoma bulb tone.

7. yeah, meant to open it.

it’s in my foyer, it’s nice and cool. i still have some shoveling and hauling to do, and some other stuff more time sensitive. wont likely get them in for a wk or 2, at best.
