Ahhhhh...Thanks Critter! Didn't do anythng that give's instant satisfaction this weekend...Fertilized some plants in the outside yard and planted 200 Caladium bulbs in my front entry! Now that was back-breaking work...If they all come up., it's going to be fantastic!

My problem is that I'm working with a cover of Pine Bark mulch...so I just can't dig a hole and plant. Got to scape the bark off, then dig. Fill and recover.It got to the point were I was digging up bulbs I had already planted! Got smarter today though...I marked them with those little bamboo skewers you thread meat and stuff on for parties. If nothing comes up..I've got a "stick garden" hahahaha

I love Caladiums and the ones I planted last year are all starting to sprout...The cool thing is that you put them in the ground and they come back up year after year. And if you're in a cold climate, you jus have to dig them up and replant.

Here's some that I planted last year, already popping out of the ground.
