Thank you for taking the reins and bringing the extra bulbs and tools.<BR/>I hope we add more and more bulbs every year till it becomes a tradition and something everyone looks forward to, both the planting and the blooming.<BR/>Is there anyway to get laminated signs that say something about keeping the pits clean? Could FDC help us with that?<BR/>The signs could emphasize the flowers and request gently to help them grow by keeping the pits free of debris.Peregrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12266429484104437799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14731145.post-16134158286439267492008-03-06T15:37:00.000-05:002008-03-06T15:37:00.000-05:00You are way ahead of us here in Ontario .. it is s...You are way ahead of us here in Ontario .. it is so satisfying to see some life spring forth !<BR/>I'm so sorry about your beautiful cat Spot ..
