I even wrote a series on planting bulbs:
Part One: Bulbs
Part Two: Bulb Basics
Part Three: Putting Them In The Ground
In preparation for the Winter Series of Outdoor Hour Challenges (more info to come), I am encouraging you to plant an early blooming flower such as crocus or daffodils, grape hyacinths or paper whites. Look for these bulbs at your local garden nursery. If your bulb planting time has passed, you might consider planting your bulbs in a pot instead of the ground.
I am looking forward with anticipation to spring flowers.

I planted bulbs last year for this very reason and the girls were so excited to see them come up in the spring.
ReplyDeleteWe have a problem this year though--we had a nasty cold snap and now some rather warm weather and the bulbs are blooming NOW. Guess we'll see how many flowers we'll have to study in the spring...
