I’ve been planting bulbs every fall for 40 years, it’s a tradition I’ll continue as long as I’m able. There’s a special feeling when planting bulbs, knowing that the work done now will mean an amazing spring garden.

The Kavod Garden is designed like a Star of David and honors the heroes of Flight 93.

The garden is part of the Remember Me Rose Garden in Shanksville.

There are lots of plants that are easy to collect seeds from.

Here are some of my favorite bulbs to plant.

Old House Gardens sells wonderful heirloom bulbs. They are holding a sale with 50% off some varieties.

Every year I drive a couple miles down the road to visit Amy Krut's dahlia garden. Her entire front yard on three sides of the house is filled with 250 different varieties of dahlias. It's so much fun to explore gardening obsessions like Amy's.
