Just got a huge bag of lovely daffodils, 100 dn1 for $15. I should be able not only to finish the row along the side of the quonset barn but put in a row in the lavender field and share a bunch with Mom as well. A lady saw me loading them into the truck and asked if they were onions, a reasonable query as they are in the same sort of net bag and about the same size.
As I can’t possibly plant along the barn until we get a good soaking rain, I will have to figure out how to store most of them in my dinky house. Probably Mom’s basement. . . But it was far too good a deal to pass up and they are beautiful bulbs, full of promise.
