Bulbs, Bulbs, Bulbs
Bulbs Bulbs Bulbs this is the month to plant. Daffodil work best for our area as they tend return each season. Tulips are not nearly as faithful. Make sure and coordinate pansie colors with your bulbs as they will be a great show the first of spring. Quick bulb tips:
- Prepare soil well.
- Plant at proper depth.
- Lime beds once per year.
- Keep bulbs cool before planting.
- Fertilize bulbs as soon as the flower dies.
- Never cut off the leaves until the bulbs turn yellow.
