The bulbs we planted are doing FANTASTIC. They have grown a lot in just under a month. The question I just started asking myself is: How big do they get? Well I decided to actually look at the information about the bulbs we planted and came up with a shocking answer...3 FEET!
I picked these because I wanted to try some bulbs and they were very cheap at the Garden Show. They had a "Plant now for summer blooms"sign on them and the orange color on the picture reminded me of my grandma's Tiger Lilies so I was sold. I never really looked a the tag. Jennifer is always telling me to "pay more attention" and this may turn out to be a time when I should head her advice. I think I am going to have to stake them down so they grow in a controlled manner. I looked them up online and they look like this!
They are really impressive. If we have four of these blooming this summer this tree is going to look amazing. I really hope they make it.
In other news we had a quasi-Grumple visit. Someone pulled out all of the wildflower sprouts on one tree and about half of them on another. Jennifer thinks they were "weeding" and then realized they were flowers but who knows. Just another set back. When you plant on the street you take your chances.
I am very much into the idea of trying out some pots on the sidewalk and seeing if they make it. I am going to write our city supervisor to see if there are any city regulations against it. I would really like to make Fillmore look like Noe. I was talking to a neighbor at Fillmore and Waller and they have done some amazing things on the street. They have really shown me what is possible. I now have a goal in mind. Lets hope I have the follow through. I did manage to get off my butt and offer to do some more trees near the church on the corner. I hope they are into it. I can really sense that more and more people around the neighborhood are into planting!
We also have a mushroom growing on one tree .
It is pretty cute. Nice to look at but we sure are not gonna eat it!
