[QUOTE="Twisted, post: 1848138, member: 43517"] I was in Lowes a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving to get some seed starter mix and saw that they had a big crate full of daffodils, tulips, crocus, and Irises in bags. I asked the manager who was rearranging the stock if he would like to make a deal on the whole crate, It was late in the season to plant them but I have planted them late before and they did ok. I wound up buying the whole crate full, had over 1000 daffodils in it, I got started planting them that weekend and got a phone call that my mother took a spill, come to find out it was a stroke. Had a lot of things to take care of including my mom after that so didn't get any of the rest planted. I had a some of the galvanized metal trashcans with lids that I kept feed in and just packed the bulbs in them planning on finishing the planting. My mother passed away just before Christmas and after taking care of her needs for the time we had her at my house, I had gotten behind on many things. I have a regular day job that requires travel for weeks at a time. This passed Saturday, I opened one of the trashcans and the bulbs had all sprouted through the netting of the bags like a bag of onions, They were all still alive, couldn't believe it. I got my batteries all charged up for my drill and all day Easter Sunday I planted bulbs. While I was planting, I recalled lots of great memories of my mom and dad and a few others that have passed away. It was a good day, I will remember this Easter everytime they bloom. [/QUOTE]
