I'll have to put in some alyssum next spring. And I'll bring a bit inside. Thanks for the tip.

It's the second winter inside for the alyssum; it goes on the patio in the summer. Tough plant. Its honey fragrance is so welcome any time, and makes alyssum one of my four favorite fragrant flowers.TimInMichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004213142269007247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037395117572651907.post-34557314784364591642015-02-14T10:40:02.555-05:002015-02-14T10:40:02.555-05:00Tim: I got these at Tom's, a little independen...Tim: I got these at Tom's, a little independent grocery out here in the burbs. The ones I saw at Meijer were awful. The people who planted them put all the bulbs on one side of the pot or only half-buried the bulbs. They always fill the dirt to overflowing so it's difficult to water the plants.

I used to do that every year, but have gotten out of the habit, dang it. Remember when we had "garden stores?" What was the name of that one on Cedar Street that closed ever so long ago?TimInMichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004213142269007247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037395117572651907.post-38774811998463219922015-02-12T12:15:06.263-05:002015-02-12T12:15:06.263-05:00These are forced bulbs, growing inside.
