I hope some of you remembered to get some bulbs and put them around the
pond where the water is barely touching the bottom? I noticed I have growth
on several of mine. Anyone else? ~ janj

Bulbs? Water barely touching the bottom???? I have daffodils planted
OUTSIDE the liner but they bloomed weeks ago.

Last year the bulbs that I found worked best were related to Glads & Calla
Lilies. The type of bulbs one normally plants in spring and bloom later in
the summer. ~ jan

I put some bulbs in a planter on a shelf. I
can't recall what kind they are - and I
can't find my notes! They have a blade-
shaped leaf and IIRC they will bloom. I
had them last year.

I culled about half the plant(s) and put
some in another container without fish
but with water extracted from the above
ground fishtank. They seem to be doing fine.

Well thats one hell of a freaking note Gail. You plant **** and do not
remember what the hell you planted............I bet even Carol Gulley
can remember what she plants..........she tells so many lies she has
to have a fair memory, unless she gets sidetracked with her many
nyms, then she sort of looses her mind, what little bit there is too
loose........
