Mystery Bulbs

November 4, 2010 By Karen Creel

I found these bulbs in the GARBAGE CAN at work, and of course I had to bring them home. I left them in the basement until cooler weather, and brought them out last week for my granddaughters Mackenzie and Kendall to plant. We will wait to be “surprised” this spring. And yes, it was this warm last week, but a cold blast has now come through and we had our first frost.

Yea! Can never have too many bulbs, and free is always good.

Your granddaughters are so cute. 🙂

Those are the best surprises for little ones! Seeing what they planted come up.

Gardenchick is a place for gardeners, flea market fanatics, lovers of the farmhouse look, and purveyors of all things rusty!

I’m not sure when my fascination with junk began, but gardening was in my blood from an early age. I remember my grandmother could throw a few seeds out and have the prettiest flowers. Sweet peas were rampant beside the front porch. I can see her now, bent over pulling weeds, and I find myself doing the same thing anytime I’m in the yard. My dad was raised on a large farm, and even though he moved away, and we always lived in the city, he had a garden. He had me help him plant a garden in May before he died in August. So you can see, gardening just comes naturally to me.

I can’t explain the love of rusty and all things chippy, but I have dug through more barns and sheds than I would like to admit to bring out a rusty wagon or old chicken feeder.

So, I hope you will follow along, and we can learn a few things together. I’ll be sharing gardening ideas, my flea market finds, and thrifty ways to repurpose.
