l always go on line to research for the best deal when purchasing my plants and bulbs. About three weeks ago, I ordered two 100 hundred quantity packages of variety colored perennial tulips at $57 a hundred plus $12 shipping. While I was checking to see if they had shipped, I noticed those items are on sale for $39 a hundred this week only. It pays to ask for a price adjustment. Since the order was already charged to my credit card, they agreed to ship me 300 bulbs at the 200 bulb price. I've got a lot of planting to do this fall. Bill Mitchell

thirdgeneration	Sep 21, 2009 \| 6:21 PM PST wow what a great deal...but you are right you have a lot of planting to do.
mudpies	Sep 21, 2009 \| 8:01 PM PST It's really nice to hear that the consumer wins once in a while, Bill. You must be a great negotiator. I can hardly wait to see photos of your tulips next spring.
munkinsmom	Sep 21, 2009 \| 10:02 PM PST You are a wise consumer Bill! I'm excited to see your tulips as well. If I lived closer I'd come help ya plant and learn a thing or two about gardening...lol. Take care & God Bless!

witt	Sep 22, 2009 \| 2:03 AM PST Way to go, Bill! I'll bet that will be a sight to see come spring.
carolyncat353	Sep 22, 2009 \| 4:56 AM PST Wow!!-I've seen you move, Bill. You'd better start now! (lol). You'd better borrow Sid from Witt-that's a lot of hole digging!
bsmitch	Sep 22, 2009 \| 5:23 AM PST I like that comment Carolyn and I'm getting slower as I write this. Have a great autumn everyone. Bill Mitchell
yardgranny6	Sep 22, 2009 \| 8:26 AM PST Sounds like a good time for a family reunion. Plant first, eat later. :-)
carolyncat353	Sep 22, 2009 \| 8:44 AM PST You know I'm teasing you. We should have the get together at your place next year-we can all plant!:)-You have to feed us!
SarahJane	Sep 22, 2009 \| 8:21 PM PST If I planted 300 bulbs in my little yard, I'd have wall-to-wall tulips! Have fun, Bill. Last edited by SarahJane on September 22nd at 8:22 PM.
bsmitch	Sep 23, 2009 \| 8:01 AM PST They don't get planted next year here in Kentucky. They get planted in mid to late November. As usual, I'll post pictures of my blooming tulips in spring 2010. Thanks to all, Bill Mitchell
birdlover46	Sep 23, 2009 \| 7:07 PM PST Wow Bill.......great buy.....that is a huge tulip bed.....or are you going to plant them in different spots for color all over next spring? Happy digging those holes! I hope you are finished by Christmas! I feel a back ache coming on for you! Birdie
