i don't really know you yet, so i'll toss in ashort-ish version of my garden story...
i am poor, and my "garden" is actually an area between our apartment complex and some woods next to a commuter lot for SCSU. Shortly after moving in, the whole area turned into a hideous destruction zone, as a huge pine tree was rmoved, and a lot of ground was dug up to move an electrical transformer. It took well over a year for them to finish, and i started a guerilla garden because i hated looking at all the ugliness. Now the landlords "allow"me to plant things there. In the fall of 2006, they bought half a dozen boring mums, about half a dozen happy returns daylilies, an new england aster, and 2 echinacea magnus. Everything else i bought, grew, or was given. i get no reimbursement, and end up spending way too much as it is!

all together - i probably spent about $100 on bulbs, but tulips are my favourite flowers!
