Brilliant Badger Brilliant!!!

Badger had a post about using a whole saw to dig with because of his bad old bones. Among the suggestions was a bulb planter. Now fellow MDers fall is comming, get out that list of sites you've been turned down on, grab the MD, grab the bulb planter, drive as fast as you can to the local farmers exchange and pick up a big bag of crocus'. Now review that list and knock on doors. Who would refuse to let you plant crocus in their lawns? every hit you get gets a crocus. Well.........when spring hits and the neighbors are seing beautfull little spring flowers popping up alll over they will ask........your story about MDing and planting them for free will be told over and over again. Make sure you leave your phone number, it will be ringing of the hook for you to dig in their yard next fall. BRILLIANT Badger wish I had thought of that.

Why am I so excited........Very unusual in my back yard......hits every where .....non stop .....has me real curious. My husband has been working real hard on his almost perfect lawn (don't tell him I said almost). "Don't you be digging up the whole back yard" he has no sense of adventure. well......he would never dare refuse me to plant flowers, (seeing how he has dug most of them up and transplanted them haphazzardly everywhere and I spend all spring trrnsplanting them before they get mowed) will have a hundred crocus in my trunk this afternoon, hope I have to get more. Maybe I'll get some Tulips, and Daffidolls, and hyachinths, and well you get it.
Thanks again Badger!

Great idea! But people might wonder why you have to dig a two foot hole for a crocus!

Wait until they see the size of that crocus come spring, now thats a big crocus the neighbors will eny.

YES! This is what I had intended to say!

You're husband will really be perturbed next spring when he has to maneuver his lawn mower around all of those pretty flowers that are sprouting up in your yard.

 

[COUNTRY GIRL]

Probably will be at first, until I remind him they die off before first mow. He'd get even and mow early anyway.

Great idea! A Crocus mine field. The perfect 'I already dug that spot' marker.....
