Good Morning
I hope all finds you well today.
When you go to plants your bulbs in the fall or spring. If you know your going to have a taller flowering plant to place a stake in the ground when planting it...This way you give it support and you don't have to worry later about putting a stake in the ground and possibly push it into the bulb and damage it.
When you are picking out your bulbs or flowers at the garden stores or farms you should remember not all plants can grow in all areas. They have a hardiness zone map that you should check before you buy. I founds some really awesome lilies but the do not thrive in this part of the Northwest.

If you have a smaller yard here is an idea you can use if you want to compost your clippings.
1. Take a plastic garbage can drill holes about 6 inches apart all over the can cans side bottom and lid, use a one inch bit.
2. Take some screening and line the inside of the can with it. This will prevent the compost from falling out the holes. Place the can on bricks to give it ventilation.
3. fill you can with your shredded material and 3 cups of manure and 1 cup of fertilizer 20-20-20.
4. Then stir the mixture well. You will need to stir it every two or three days. Your compost should be rich,dark and crumbly in about four weeks.

Here is one of those things you see happen at football games and here is the reason why

The "huddle" in football was formed due to a deaf football player who used sign language to communicate and his team didn't want the opposition to see the signals he used and in turn huddled around him.
