I think for many gardeners the best times of year are the times when the seasons shift. When you live in a part of the world like New England these times are even better (in my opinion). This fall is providing particular relief to us in Boston because we are finally getting rain! Phew. My garden has had a tough summer go of it and I'm looking forward to an upcoming weekend of bulb and perennial planting, having waaaay over-ordered from Brent and Beckys Bulbs and Odyssey Bulbs as well. While I might be cursing myself as I struggle to find one more open spot in my tiny city garden, I will be happily hopeful all winter long as I wait for the show  in the spring. If you haven't ordered bulbs yet for planting this fall. It is not to late. Do it now and you'll thank me in the spring. This spring for me (not unlike most springs) is going to be all about tulips, the viridflora 'Spring Green' and parrot tulips 'Black Parrot' and "Professor Rontgen' (see attached photo) which is a gorgeous swirling combination of orange, peach, salmon, and pale yellow. You have to pick them for the house or they fall over from the weight and get wrecked.
