Potted Tulips and Daffodils Bulbs

I planted the Tulip ‘Queen of Night’ Folia and Tulip ‘Pastel Mix’ Folia bulbs along with Daffodil ‘Dick Wilden’ Folia into this 10-12 inch pot. 3 of the Daffodil bulbs were bad, leaving me with just 12.

I placed chopsticks on top so the neighborhood cat won’t poo in the pot.

Happy Birthday Nanay!!!… Let’s Garden…

Today is my Mother’s birthday, so I took the day off to do anything she wants to.

We started the day by going to DMV to getting her ID card renewed. When they gave us forms to fill out, I noticed that out of all the clipboard they had, they gave us one that had yellow flowers drawn on it.

Afterwards, we went to the dollar store (I found out it’s actually a 99¢ store) to see if they had new garden stuff. I bought some bulbs ( photo ) , and terra cotta pot and an Elephant Garlic bulb (from the grocery area). I’m actually going to plant the Elephant Garlic and see if they grow. Not bad for 99¢.

When we got home, we just worked on the garden. The Sunflowers ( photo ) in the front yard are dying, so I chopped them down. I had four piles: stalks, seeds for the bird to eat, seeds for next year and stems and leaves for the compost pile.

My brother then came home with two new plants for my Mom. A variegated Raspberry Ice Bougainvillea and a dual colored Thai Delight Bougainvillea.

I sowed some seed:
Sweet Peas ‘Streamer Mix’
Mighty Red Oak Lettuce
Bloomsdale Savoy Spinach

I planted the Snap Peas seedling from the six pack to veggie bed #1, using the Sunflower stalks that I chopped down earlier as support for these.

I also pulled out the dead Sikkim Cucumbers plants and cut the bottom dead leaves off of the Lemon Cucumber and Tomatoes.

Home Depot Gift Card + Whole Lotta Bulbs

When my brother got home this evening, he gave me a birthday card with a Home Depot Gift Card :) Thank you Kuya Rene!!!

He also bought a whole lotta bulbs from the clearance bins for 2 cents per pack. Total cost = 76 cents.
