The Dirt: good things at Curbside Chaos

This post brought to you by Bulbs. Dig, Drop, Done.. All opinions are 100% mine.

Can you imagine winning a $5,000 yard makeover. There are so many things I would do to our yard – starting with new privacy trees or hedges along our back yard wall. From there I would redo all my flower beds so I could have beautiful cut flowers year round. It would be amazing!





One lucky homeowner did win a fabulous backyard makeover from Dig.Drop.Done. - Curbside Chaos. You can check out the transformation – from bulbs to furniture - in this short video clip.

Dig.Drop.Done. is an educational program that provides simple, inspiring and entertaining information about the growth and care of flowering bulbs. Right now, for ever share on Twitter with the hashtag #CurbsideChaos,  Bulbs. Dig. Drop. Done. will donate $1.00 to Rebuilding Together – the nation’s leading nonprofit that works to preserve affordable homeownership and revitalize communities.



This is a terrific way to help communities especially with the most recent devastation of Hurricane Sandy.

In addition, through November 30, 2012, you can receive a free gardening themed Scholastic book with every Dig.Drop.Done flower bulb purchase. Visit www.scholastic.com/digdropdone for more details and the Official Rules.



And since I didn’t win the yard makeover I can use the Dig.Drop.Done. Garden Guru Tool to see what bulbs would be perfect for my location. All you do is:

Step 1 – Pick your Country
Step 2 – Pick your location within that Country
Step 3 – Choose the type of bulb you want to grow
Step 4 – Check out the Planting Guide that shows you how to plant your bulbs.

These are some of the flower bulbs in my garden. But I love the Alliums from the Garden Guru tool and will definitely be adding those to my garden. A little effort now will pay off big time in the spring with beautiful fresh cut flowers.

Thanks for visiting.
