0/07/09 PLANT DAFFODILS WHILE THE SUN SHINES





Wednesday, 7:20 AM. 38 degrees, wind W, calm. The channel is dimpled, the sky is partly cloudy and the barometer predicts the same. Another .75” of rain is in the gage.
We are planting daffodils today, 7,000 of them. They can be planted up until the ground freezes but we will take advantage of good weather while it lasts. An experienced crew of four can plant several thousand bulbs a day, using an electric drill and bulb bit. We received a significant donation from a property owner along Hwy. 13 on the north side of town, so there will be a spectacular display of 6,000 bulbs all in one location. We will have planted 30,000 or so bulbs in the last five years.
