Our biggest fall gardening project has been adding daffodils to the edges of our campus. All but a few students in the school have been involved in planting them. Each class that planted had 100 bulbs to put in the ground. First grade classes counted bulbs so we could keep up with how many we were planting. The bulbs were a gift from a plantation home in Alabama, and the varieties are over 50 years old. We know they are primarily yellow and white flowers, but we won't know which varieties are where until they bloom in the spring! Not all the bulbs will bloom the first year, but if we can keep them from being mowed, they will be on the campus for years to come and will continue to multiply.
