  1. Thank you so much for all the tips on bulb planting! Will surely come in handy. I am definitely a Daffodil girl. 😀

  2. Erin, thanks for your generosity! I am a Master Gardener and I will share the daffodils with our display gardens if I win the giveaway!

  3. Oh I loved this! I have only ever planted Casablanca bulbs. I would love to win the alliums.

  4. Ditto on the reblooming power of Crystal Blue vs other varieties of salvia. It’s the best IMHO! Looks good even after all the little blue buds fall off for anyone too lazy to deadhead (not me of course… 🙃). Favourite bulb for impact and reliability: Ambassador Allium! Edit: typed this before you got to the allium section – I guess we agree on that one, too! Expensive but so worth it.

  5. Tulips always remind me of springtime & new beginnings. I would love the tulip package. Thanks for doing the giveaway! 💚💚💚

  6. Hi Erin, wow….look at all of the entries! I'd be interested in the allium mix of bulbs.

    Thanks for all of your helpful advice!

  7. I am interested in the allium mix! Purple is my favorite color in the garden, and I have given up on tulips since the critters like to eat them, and they don't naturalize well in my area. Thank you for the amazing inspiration, as always!

  8. Barb The flower Lady here and l love alliums and love all the inspiration shared. I salute the impatient gardener! Always enjoy the knowledge and lessons learned on patience as a fellow gardener. 🙂🌺👍

  9. I have never grown alliums and want to try this year! Thanks for your great videos!

  10. Hm, I think I'll have a better chance of winning if I chose the deer candy bulbs, but I should probably stick to daffodils!

  11. Allium are something I've wanted to try and haven't done yet. I would love to try some and see how they will do here in my 6b garden.

  12. Tulip package please! 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
    Good morning!!! I watch your new and even old videos every morning while getting ready for work. The education and connection s priceless! This could not have come at at better time. I’m clearing a new garden area and this would be perfect. Please enter me into the bulb give away. Thanks so much for all that you do! Cheers!

  13. I also only plant bulbs animals won't eat. Daffodils early, mid and late have naturalized and have them for almost 2 months. Been adding alliums, recently. Also muscari and English blue bells are great. Great video and advice.

  14. Alliums…Every spring I proclaim how I’d love to place a big bulb order, and every fall I’m unable too financially. I garden on a very strict budget so it’s not always in the cards to place a big bulb order. I have a picket fence that I have dreamed of planting heavily with Alliums for such a long time to win this would be amazing in my efforts to do so. Thanks for everything 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 fingers crossed 🤞

  15. Thank you for sharing your garden with us! I have very limited knowledge of bulbs. I would love to win the allium package.

  16. Alliums! My favorite bulb by far, and once they are spent, my kids use the dried blooms to make fences for their toys!

  17. I would LOVE the allium package. I moved from a home with a beautiful allium garden and have been wanting to incorporate them in my new home.💜

  18. Alliums! I also made a new garden this past season, and deer are in my area also so adding these bulbs would be so much fun. Love your frank approach to work/ time/ effort/ rewards in gardening.

  19. I’ve never grown alliums and LOVE their look. Would be so excited for the Allium pack! Love your videos, greetings from your neighbor state Iowa!

  20. Daffodils please! I live in a zone 6b holler with a decidous forest. I have sunny grassy areas perfect for spring blooming bulbs. I already have snowdrops and some daffodils popping up from an old homestead and would love to add more. Thank you.
