Ep 81. Bulbs Extending Blooms & Deterring Squirrels

In this episode, Mary Stone discusses an assortment of spring flowering bulbs to extend the bloom, as shared by my friend and design colleague Marty Carson from Three Seasons. We also discuss speedy ways to plant them. Then we wrap up with Phil's Squirrel Dilemma, worthy of a standup comedy act. And how to prevent squirrels from digging up your bulbs. Also, a sidenote about Patti Doell's technique at Little Big Farm involves bulb bouncing back to a previous story on No-till Gardening—perhaps coining a new phrase: Low-till Gardening. Link to Related Stories: Bulbs to Extend Spring BloomsPhil's Squirrel DilemmaPatti Doell of Little Big Farm, a cut flower farm, story on No-Till GardeningLink to Brent & Becky's Bulb Website ***I'd love to hear about your garden and nature stories.
