With Bulbs, All You Do Is Dig, Drop and Done!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Bulbs. Dig, Drop, Done. for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

There are so many bulbs to look at and choose from. Bulbs come in a variety of shapes and colors. My favorite bulbs are Tulips, Daffodils and Ranunculus. I plant these bulbs in my front and backyard. Some bulbs I have in the ground and others in flower pots. It is funny though, every spring o summer, I get a surprise when my flowers begin showing their colorful faces in the sun. When my lovely bulbs begin showing their faces, I clip some flowers and bring some indoors to brighten my home. Bulbs are one amazing flower. They are like little packages waiting to be opened and shine their colorful faces where ever they have been planted.

The best thing about growing bulbs is planting them. If you have Curbside Chaos, then all you have to do is dig, drop and you are done. That is how simple it is to grow your own bulb garden. When you grow bulbs in your front yard, going up to your door walkway, wow, your front yard will look brighter and more inviting to your family,friends and guests.

Have you ever been to the DigDropDone website? If not, you should. There is so much to learn about planting and growing any variety of bulbs. When I visited this website, I clicked on the Bulbs 101 page and learned that bulbs are a natural product and are a self contained flower factory. When I clicked on the Dig Deeper page, I learned that bulbs and corms are not the same. These two self contained flowers may look the same, but they are a bit different in that the bulb store their food in their scales, while corms store their food in the basal plate. This information is important to know, but there is a lot more information you need to know about bulbs.

When I visited the DigDropDone website, I was greeted by the three bulb ladies: Marcy, The Super Mom, Juliana, The Fashonista and Evelyn, The Empty Nester. When you read all their bios, who are you most alike? I am more like Marcy because we both have twins, although, she is a Super Mom and I am trying to be one. Speaking of trying, I do not know about you, but gardening, as hard as I try, is not my thing. That is the funny thing about planting bulbs, you do not have to be a seasoned "bulb" planter at all. Just Dig, Drop and Done. Three easy steps in two shakes of a lamb's tail!

 If you like contests, and who does not like a contest, there is a "Dig, Drop, Done!" contest going on right now. This contest is giving away $5,000 for a landscape makeover. This contest is an effort to excite women about the pure beauty of seeing flowers come from a bulb they simply dropped into the ground.

Spring and Summer are Almost Here, Do you have Outdoor Seating?

With Spring and Summer just months away, homeowners will want to look at and purchase new outdoor furniture. As the weather will be getting warmer and the windows in your home will be opened with warmer weather, many homeowners will want to go outside and breathe in some fresh air, along with getting some natural sunshine.

As lovely as the outdoors are, especially your front or backyard, being able to have a place to sit or entertain are also important. Today's outdoor furniture comes in materials such as wicker, metal, chaise lounges, fire pits, sofas and love seats, club chairs, hammocks, and outdoor bar seating.

Any of these styles of outdoor furniture will become a conversation piece and add value to the exterior of your home. When you have family and friends come over, they will ask you where you purchased your outdoor furniture and where can they purchase something like yours too.

Today, one style of outdoor furniture which is popular again is wicker furniture. The wicker furniture today is made more sturdy, with more colors and designs. Depending on what style a homeowner is looking for, there are designs for living my the beach, lake or inland. There is sofa and love seat wicker furniture, an 8 piece sectional wicker furniture style, 4 piece wicker, 5 piece wicker and 7 piece wicker furniture pieces to fit in whatever home setting you are looking to decorate.

Finally, the new indoor room, is the outdoor living space. This is why outdoor furniture seating has become an extension of the home. Many homes today have moved their living spaces outdoors because it is easier to entertain family and friends in a space that is found to be less crowded and more open. With the right outdoor furniture seating, family,friends and guests, will no longer have to stand up or sit on the grass. If a homeowner has a fire pit or bar with seating, this is offers even more seating and are great places for conversations to begin. Nothing is more fun than sitting around a fire pit or outdoor bar with seating.
