Ok, so I have extensive gardening experience with a few things, and none at all with others. As I've always lived in an apartment (It's two years in my house next month), I'm very familiar with annuals and a few perenials, but never wanted to invest the time (or money) in shrubs or bulbs since I wasn't sure if I'd really see the result of my efforts.
I want to plant some bulbs for the spring. You do that at some point in the fall, right? When exactly? Any suggestions for longer-blooming bulbs in northern climates (I'm sick to death of tiger-lilies by the way).
Also, rather than the expense of a fence/rock wall in my front yard, I'm thinking of going with some box hedges to hopefully keep Hannah from running into the street without at least learning the high-jump first. Any suggestions on fast-growing varieties? I want to sell the house next summer/fall, so I'd like them to look decent. That is, if I can even plant them in the fall? Can I do that? Please don't make me use google.
