Great information about bulb planting in the fall!  I am about to split my Asiatic lilies and re-plant for next year.  

And regarding the call to action;  Fairbanks certainly hears enough "we can serve you from here" about just about everything being based in the Anchorage area.  I understand the population draws the services.  But just think about all the things that go in reverse with this concept.  Fairbanks gets the short end a lot.
