Happy Monday!
Yesterday I spent the entire day in the garden. I had a great time playing in the dirt. Not to mention, it was a much needed break from working in the studio. My Mom told me once that gardening is in fact very good for stress. It has something to do with the bacteria that is released in the soil. This friendly bacteria increases the seratonin levels in our bodies. I have yet to meet a cranky gardener, so this good be true!
I'm a little behind schedule with prepping the garden for winter and plantint bulbs for spring, but, thankfully, yesterday was a perfect sunny fall day to get all of this accomplished. I am so excited about the bulbs I planted. The colour scheme is yellow and purple. I planted a variety of crocuses, narcissus, and tulips. One of the tulips I fell in love with at the Royal Botanical Gardens. It is the Blue Diamond Double Late Tulip. I took a picture last spring when visiting the RBG. Taking pics of the marker is a great idea to remember the names.
Here is a list of what was planted:
Tulipa single late 'Queen of Night'
Tulipa double late 'Blue Diamond'
Narcissus 'Ice Follies'
Narcissus 'Dick Wilden' (Double Daffodil)
Giant Yellow Crocus (crocus flavus)
Giant Purple Crocus (crocus flavus)
Only 6 months until Spring! Oh boy.
