Muscari armeniacum 'Blue Pearl' - Grape Hyacinth

Do you love "plant therapy" where you wander the rows of plants in a garden store and buy a few plants?
Today I bought a pack of 10 Muscari "Dark Eyes" , ideal for fall planting and which will bloom in spring. I have a big pot to plant them in.
For bulbs pots work best for me: it foils the gophers, if the ground gets soggy the bulbs don't rot since the pot soil drains well, and when they are done blooming I move them to the side garden.
I believe gardeners are hopeful people. We plant a seed, or a bulb, or a sapling in hopes it will grow strong and healthy.
That hope is part of me as a gardener and as a Christian.
What bulbs are you planting for spring?
Oh, and today I mailed the two books to the readers who posted comments this week, and who were selected to receive the books.

Sunshine great idea about the Muscari. I have Hyacinths and Tulips. To therenewed spirit of Fall Gardening----Sparkles
Plant therapy--yes! Yours is the second piece that I've read today to encourage me in this direction. God willing, I will get the opportunity. :) That is my hope!
Sparkles, now I am intrigued to try tulips.
And CurtissAnn, yes, try plant therapy. Even a pot of basil or your favorite flowers in a pot is an excellent start.
I love the word "Godincidence" to describe two things today you read about plant therapy :)
Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving a comment! I love those Muscari bulbs...one of my favorite spring flowers..I must of planted a million of them a year ago...my spring garden was full of them! Which makes me so happy!
Hello Terra,
At first look I thought they were fruits LOL Yes grapes, and kinda like blueberries too! I don't think I've seen one this kind though.
PLant therapy. I do think I believe in that. UUmmmm I'm not really good at planting anything but the feeling of being surrounded by flowers blooming, or the first signs of fruits - the sight of them I love very much.

(oh about the steaming and not baking: it's because my cake once resulted to a burnt one LOL at least in steaming, no burnt cakes. But I'm still gonna try next time :-) )
