Empathy

I was reading the KC Gardens Blog this morning, and there was a question from a gardener about her Angelique tulips. She planted 150 two years ago, and last year they bloomed great. This year, nada.

The same thing happened to my Angelique tulips. First, I thought a squirrel had gotten them. However, I asked around and discovered that it was more likely that they just gave out.

I am learning so much about gardening. For instance, bulbs do not necessarily equate to perennials to enjoy for years to come. Sometimes, they are just annuals you plant in the fall.

Maybe there is no such thing as a "low-maintenance" flower bed.
