A good little idea for bulb planting time.

So this might seem like a simple idea, hardly worth blogging about, but I thought it was pretty clever. One of my friends & colleagues Hunter Stubbs from the B.B. Barns Landscape Division was at a client's house planting some bulbs around her water feature. Before digging the holes and putting them in the ground he placed the bags in the general areas where he was going to plant. Then he took a picture to give the client so that she could have a record of where the bulbs would come up in the Spring.

Seems like just a little thing, but it can be a good record to have when planning & planting after the bulbs have gone in. Many trees, shrubs and perennials can go in the ground so long as the dirt isn't frozen. Having a record of the bulb planting areas, with an indication of what colors are going to come up, can be useful for off season planting.
