My Breck's order arrived.  :D 3q3q3q!!!!  So now I have lots of things to plant.

Is anyone else planting fall bulbs for spring flowers?

Sadly, I've looked at all of those. Anything step in is too wide for my purposes since I'm looking at an inch diameter tops and the smallest is like 2.5". I can't use power tools in the location, and I'm not hand dibbling 600 bulbs one at a time. I'm debating getting a step on lawn aerator since that's about the perfect size and depth but I don't want to tuck all the soil cylinders back in. The fork at least I just lever up the sod around the holes, tuck in bulbs, and stomp it back down. The downsides of the fork is that it's not really meant for that sort of use and a) my foot slides off the rounded top of the tines and b) I broke it last year. Hoping the gorilla glue holds!
