My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Fun bulb related poems/haiku -

15 years ago

This could turn into a contest...let me see what's at home worth awarding, and NO...Gordie won't be comeing to a house near yours anytime soon!!

So, we are in a creative mood, and a good way to kill some time (like we have so much spare time these days). So...create a poem or two, or even Haiku! (remember it's 5-7-5). They MUST be related to amaryllis!!

Here are my starters:

Springtime is so near

the bulbs stick out their green tongues

blooms will follow soon

KB

floating in my cup?

coworkers swat at the air!

sneaky fungus gnats...

    I had a visitor in the greenhouse yesterday, well...actually he was a winter resident.

    Hello little frog!
    All your green-ness blends right in!
    Eat those gnats my friend!
