Yes. I am that obsessive. I used that tape measure to try to center the bulb plot in the bed and to dig to the correct depth.
There was good snow cover all winter so I wasn't afraid of winter kill. The bed is right next to the house so it should keep gophers from invading and eating the bulbs. And there wasn't any of that. Phew!
I did start to worry about having planted them too deep though. Would they come up in the spring? If they come up, would they bloom?
I didn't need to worry. They came up.
The daffodils are blooming.
And the tulips soon will be.
WooHoo!
Spring color!
Even if spring is very very late.
