Pushing the envelope-Fall Bulb Catalogs

Anyone besides me getting their tulips catalogs? This is the fourth one I have recieved in the last two weeks. Is time speeding up or am I just slowing down? Is summer over already?

I've ordered tulips weeks ago. Wild isn't it? Perhaps in a decade, they will be so early that they will send us the next year's catalogue in the same box as the fall-planted bulbs.

I got a Blom's catalogue yesterday, they have started getting earlier for the last 2 or 3 years here. One does it, then the rest follow suit. The orders are going to be relying on the crops not getting some disease, then you get a substitute as if you don't state you don't want a subs they will send you one!

Such like as www.rareplants.co.uk grow their own, and have a stock linked ordering system, theirs went up a while back but they can do it.
