That would be awesome.<br /><br />I had the same desire (to plant a bunch of bulbs in and amidst my front yard of as-of-yet-unfinished crapulence), so I bought an awesome auger that goes on a drill. It would have worked wonderfully if the first 12 inches of my yard wasn't infested with tree roots from our maple tree. Luckily before I bought my 800 bulbs, I realized that 10 minutes of digging had only gotten me about 3, maybe 4 inches, below ground level for one damned bulb.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882235346307802213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-36836598062266203622009-11-10T14:05:47.387-08:002009-11-10T14:05:47.387-08:00good god I adore you.

Can't wait to see the brilliance in the spring! That's when you get bulb growth, right? I mean, in California there aren't any growing rules. You probably have tulips in January or something.dig this chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08418144148141016215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-24064000399972725142009-11-10T08:51:56.177-08:002009-11-10T08:51:56.177-08:00800 bulbs?

Like what if you have a super obvious color problem- like too much pink one side? <br /><br />I couldn't do this. I must plan everything.
