Planting for Spring
The end of Summer is an unlikely time to be thinking about Spring, but a little bit of planning can bring springtime joy.
Fall is the time to get your spring bulbs ordered and installed. Don’t be intimidated by the planting of them either. We recommend digging a hole 6″ deep, do a cluster of 10 or 12 bulbs in the hole, and carefully bury them. The splashes of color in the spring make such a statement. You can also plant them in neat rows or groupings if you are trying to cover a larger area.
Try to avoid planting individual bulbs far apart, as they appear to be accidental. Inf fact, do just the opposite! Make it intentional and go overboard. They have such a short life that you want them to get all the attention they deserve!
Ideal for our climate:
-
tulips
-
daffodils (deer proof)
-
iris
-
crocus
-
allium (deer proof)
