Planting bulbs

Last night’s Hunter’s Moon rising like a big yellow pumpkin in the night sky reminded me that it’s now officially fall bulb-planting time. Tulip bulbs will have to compete for garden space with the garlics I am currently breaking up into cloves and getting ready to plant. I’ll soon be making the annual raid of the compost pile in search of nourishment for these ground dwellers who will sleep cozily in the earth all winter and emerge first thing in the spring.
