I love the internet.

I planted about 150 to 200 bulbs the other day both on my property and on the neighbor's. Got a great deal on these things and a really good variety. Then I realized that I might have planted some of them upside down and it will snow tomorrow. In my defense, there were shoots coming out of the big ends on some of them and I just assumed that that was the end that should go up.

This is the kind of thing that puts me off of trying new things. I was very unhappy when I realized that the pointy end should always go up. Went on the internet to find out what would happen and found this:

So, there you have it! Not only will nature correct my mistake but someone else did what I did on an even greater scale. I feel so much better now.

Made me laugh. Dug up tons of bulbs this year redoing some gardens. Between weather and kidney stone, was super late getting the bulbs in. DH said he would do it for me and said, "Since you want a random mix, how about I mix then up, toss them in (he had dug a massive spot) and then cover them up. Ahhhhhhh, no the pointy ends have to go up! Ended up I placed all the bulbs and he backfilled. After they bloom in the spring, I'll relocate any I need to. Thing with bulbs, as long as you can did the dirt, not frozen solid, bulbs can be planted.

Found out doing some research, even though you might not get daffodils deep enough, they have a root system that will actually pull them in deeper as they grow. Darn things are just about indestructible.

Just don't try to figure out which end is up on anemones. Things look like a small dry cat turd to me.

Our television died a few months ago and I figured it would cost a few hundred dollars just to have it checked out. Went onto the internet and found out there was a known problem with the capicitors. Found a video on how to fix it and a few hours later it was working again. It cost less than $30 and a lot of that was because a didn't own a soldering iron - the actual parts were $8.00.

So yes, I love the internet too!

Great to know about daffodils. I planted about four different varieties, mostly on his property since they're yellow and white to match his house. The bulbs were really big so I don't know if I planted deep enough.

Also great to know about the ground. It was 67 degrees F and wet on Monday and fairly warm on Tuesday so I just thought I'd give it a try since the ground was so easy. I didn't know though if the hard freeze this week would ruin it but it sounds like I'm good!

I should have dug up a huge area and planted like you did but I did them one at a time. I'm hurting a little bit today.
