[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	I have never had good luck with Fall bulbs, I plant them by the wagon loads and come spring, if I am luck 2-3 flowers will come up. I have tried Begonias, Day Lilies of various types, Gladiolas, and some types of Narccisst(SP) Anyone have any advice? I do not have trouble with Daffodils and the like -----signature----- WoW Ayla Hunter, Lightbringer, Z Guild May the forces of evil become confused while your arrow is on its way to the target. ~George Carlin~ A'yla level 126 UA AC FF www.zguild.org

	Hello Ayla. There a few things that could be contributing to your difficulty. Are critters eating them? I think daffodils have a nature substance that makes them not as tasty to critters under the ground and above. Deers leave them alone unlike tulips that the deers eat like candy. If the problem is with moles are squirrels, I seem to remember reading some suggestions out there for deterring the underground marauders. Here is a discussion board talking about bulbs attacting creatures that eat them: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/bulbs/msg1220500322555.html?9 I am so in a mood to start planting bulbs. My favorites are the daffodils for spring but I also love daylillies for summer. I may be getting some of both. Depending on what the garden center has. -----signature----- Lucrenda, NE Druid, Lightbringer Lucrenda, AC1 - Frostfell - retired Strahd says, "Can't you see I'm leading 50+ people to their deaths?"
