Before December Ends

One container of hyacinths. Others are in glass forcing containers that will go indoors when ready. I love this color pink tulip. The pot may be too small for them but let's see what happens.

Reindeer moss for my amaryllis. I love the feel of it.

The last of the paperwhites won't be planted today but soon. I have a container of them already in the kitchen window developing roots.

Will plant these 3 another day.

Wonder if my hellebore will bloom? They were beautiful in the garden center yesterday, but I didn't buy any.

Have to put the pumpkins in the yard for the critters. The box contains sunflower seeds for the birds. They've been sitting on the empty feeder in the yard waiting for it to be filled. Philly has had rain for the past 2 days and I didn't want to go out to fill it. Today was the first day of sun and a beautiful blue sky.

Before Planted. They were ready.

Will hopefully plant some tulips in here tomorrow and some in my window box outside the bedroom window. Then I only have to plant a pack of dead looking anemone and 4 huge allium bulbs and I'll be finished with bulb planting.

Tulips left to plant.

Sorry for the upside-down picture.

Watered and hoping they make a beautiful show this spring.

My favorite plant this winter. Some other house plants are currently having a problem with mealy bugs and scale. Have to get it under control before I start seed starting.
