Fall Field Notes: A Change of Seasons No.8
No. 8 | planting bulbs for next spring
In Fall Field Notes, I want to show you my little corner of the world. I take pictures of the environment I live in and the things I actually do. Familiarity has a way of making things invisible, and this can make us lose sight of the good life we already have. The only way I know to counter this natural tendency is to take notice, creating a kind of visual gratitude journal.
Even as we head into winter, I take delight in planning for the next good things. Lately, I’ve been getting some lovely inspiration from Lindsey Zovko and her substack, Garden and Gather. This week she demonstrated how to plant a bulb lasagna. Essentially, you plant layers of spring bulbs in pot of soil mixed with poultry grit. You sit the pot outdoors where it will experience the weather conditions needed for the bulbs to bloom next spring, where you will have weeks of blooms from one spot.
These are the everyday things I hold onto.
