Hi, everybody, it's Joe Lample. I have the perfect topic for you today, and this is an encore episode because of the timeliness of the topic, but it's all about fall bulb planting. So these are the bulbs you plant now to get that great show in the springtime. And we have for you today pretty much the king of bulbs, for lack of a better term, at least here in the U.S., Brent Heath of Brent and Becky's bulbs.

They've been around forever.

And all the information you're going to need to know is in this podcast.

So I'll save the details of the introduction because that's just ahead along with a lot of great information and a free downloadable PDF.

So don't miss that because that will really help you too.
