\n<\/a>The annual fall lily sale by the Northstar Lily Society happens tomorrow. \u00a0I went to one of these sales several years ago at the Landscape Arboretum and bought lilies still blooming today. \u00a0Asiatic lilies and martagons, true lilies, like to stay in place and multiply. \u00a0These lilies are grown by Minnesota gardeners and are hardy in our climate, some of the varieties have been created by these growers and exist no where else.<\/p>\nKate and I will replant our lily and iris bed with what we pick up tomorrow. \u00a0Fall planting is one of those gardening tasks I’ve learned to love over the years. \u00a0Kate laughs about it and reminds of that fateful October 31st evening in 1991 when I had waited too long to plant. \u00a0We lived on Edgcumbe Road then in St. Paul and I was in the front yard on my knees as the snow began to swirl and the kids came trick or treating.<\/p>\n
If you were here then, you remember this storm. \u00a0We got two feet of snow over two days. \u00a0Since then, I’m more timely about my bulb planting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
