You inspired me to plant tulip, daffodil, and hyacinth bulbs last year, and the joy it brought me this Spring (ESPECIALLY this Spring) when I saw those pops of color was just priceless. I would find myself checking on them multiple times a day to see which had opened up, and because I didn't want to cut them, I was always on my hands and knees just smelling the hyacinths constantly. Now I have to go find some more bulbs to plant!
This was my first year also; the hyancith are so heavenly smelling! I bought more of those this year! I wonder how big the giant ones she talked about are!
Try Dahlias! Between Laura and Erin (the Impatient Gardener) you will learn a great deal. I have been gardening with my mom since I was a kid but that was in Mich. This is my first year doing dahlias and the ones i planted in pots in my greenhouse in early March are all ready for me to put in the ground. When they started popping up green I went crazy and ordered more tubers that I will just put straight into the ground (after some soil tilling) BUT I'm am super excited! BTW I'm in Tenn. (zone 7a) and my greenhouse (wood and glass glazing) was finished by my honey this past Feb. 2021 (since my kit blew over Jan. of 2020 ;( ) But this is a HUGE upgrade from that kit.

Neighbours thought I was crazy when I ordered 1000 tulip bulbs. I told them that's nothing compared to the number of bulbs that Laura / Garden Answers plants every year... Thanks for inspiring me :)
I did the same I ordered 500 of an early blooming mix and 500 of a late blooming mix to extend the tulip show the vad part is that they do not naturalize for me
I live in zone 9b in California. I plant spring bulbs and corms: tulips, daffodils, hyacinth and crocus in November, even as late as December and they have always bloomed for me. I never dig them back up to chill for next year. They have come back year after year. The crocus are the only ones that give me trouble. Daffodils are the strongest. I don't like doing extra work if I don't have to. So if you're in the same zone as me do a little experiment and see if you have the same luck I do. Happy planting all.
at last!!!! someone speaking about the "watering through the winter months" and while storing inside or out! I Have seen so many video trying to find this information and i think this is the first video wiving exactly the information needed! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! I hope you have a nice blooming season!

You can garden year round in Florida. Your local extension office will have lots of information on when and what you can grow. I’m a born and raised Florida girl too. It can be challenging just don’t give up. Good luck.
@@nicolegerrard8745 Thanks Nicole! I learned that little tidbit even with my succulents as if I didn't mist them daily, they literally got burnt. 🥴 It'll be some work, some trial and probably lots of error, but I'm looking forward to learning and playing in the dirt. It's incredible therapy to me. Have a wonderful week hun!
@@rachelidasetima6574 Thanks Rachel. I love this community so much. It's like the art community, kindness and helpfulness abounds. So very different from most YT/social media... Makes my heart so happy! ♥️ And great tip re the extension office as that will surely be specific to my area... As you know even here in FL, we have many different habitats from one area to the next. So that truly will be a huge help to me. 😊
I'm so excited to plant bulbs for the first time in my life. I started gardening in May of 2020 after watching one of your videos. You inspired me to go out and completely transform my garden. It has become my favorite place to be and it is looking so beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration, education, and all your hard work. 💜🌷🌸🌹🌼🌺🌻🥀💚
I love how Garden Answers does plant growing on a large scale.Its like fantasy gardening for me.If I had the space then I would certainly fill it with plants.
Whenever Laura is in the cold frame, do you look past her to see what else is sitting on the tables? I love to “snoop” and see what all is going on in there. 😂
Awesome presentation Laura. I need to tell you that for my 50 th wedding anniversary, my husband surprised me with a beautiful gold band with diamond chips. So sweet of him, but I am not a jewelry person. So, I asked if he could buy me your DeWalt drill and 2 augers. So much more practical. He did, and I’ve already planted loads of bulbs thanks to your inspiration. I just love my drill and augers!😘
This project is perfect for me dealing with DEER !! This way I can bring pots with tulips indoors at night but still have a display during the day !! Thank You for your continued inspiration 💕
I once planted a 200 ft long rows of tulip in my yard in the Columbia River Gorge and waited for them to come up and the deer ate all my flowers left the greenery. I was heartbroken.
That oval container you started with. I love it! It’s gorgeous. Seeing all those unique stone planters makes me want to chuck all my ceramic pots and start over. Never dreamed I would have ‘pot’ envy. Lol.
I do think your kitties love being on camera. It’s so sweet how they always seem to find you.... and it just seems natural for you to stroke and talk. I love love your channel
What I love about the preparation videos is all the information that you provide. Then you alway follow up at a later stage, showing us the plant’s progress. I personally think there is nothing more encouraging than seeing your efforts come to fruition, and then being able to pick the blooms for arrangements, if you want to.
@@survivingvikingland3329 what your zone? Curious. There are some real discrepancies. Some bulb companies will not even sell them to my zone. I got some that list the zones 2-10, so just wondering.
@@dlsdyer9071 I live in DK and depending on which website you look at, it’s about a zone 7 to 8. We’re quite lucky here that we can buy Claus’s bulbs in the supermarket 😊 By the start of October though most stores and garden centers no longer sell bulbs
wowsers!! singing "anticipation" over here... that will be spectacular!! fyi, some bulb companies, like Colorblends Wholesale Flowerbulbs, will chill the bulbs for those of us in those warm zones... i ordered bulbs in 2019 from them in september and they chilled them for me for a small fee (like $30?) and then shipped them to me in January 2020 when it was time to plant here in southern california... i loved it because i didn't have to find a place here or use my refrigerator storage for them.. this display is going to be a showstopper!! love the color choices... thanks for the video!!
Thank you so much for explaining my bulb zone requirements. I’m a first time bulb buyer and ordered 600. I could not understand why they haven’t arrived but now I get it, they ship according to my zone for planting purposes. You are the best at making me a better gardener and take me way out of my comfort zone. I can’t wait to pot up my bulbs for spring. Does ZONE 9 mean I can leave my bulbs in the ground all year and they will return? Do I need to dig up all 600 when the season is over? 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Thank you SO much Laura. Last night I was looking for videos on how to plant bulbs in containers and today you appeared with this informative video. It couldn’t come at a better time for me. Thank you VERY much!!!!
Thanks, this will be a beautiful display. I always did this with my kindergarten class as it is just good to "get dirty" & a great way to teach about the seasons. We kindergarten teachers got the whole school involved after the first couple years & in April, it was a beautiful sight.
I can't seem to find the update from this one either. Too bad. One of the best things of this channel is the updates they give. Returning to the same area or containers every few months. Or even every year. I watched 100s of videos and if there is a new one I am watching it. So mostly I am up to speed. But it's not always easy to find it afterwards. Too bad YT does not work with tags or so. Even searching in this channel does not always come up with usable links and the order is totally random. That's YT's fault.
@@bonita10132 Ah too bad. I only watch them on yt really so I missed that. Well, happened to me too last year. Huge basket of tulips and daffodils and somewhere in May a bit green but no way near flowers. I guess in my case the seller stored them wrong or so. I am having more difficulties spending 30 euro again on bulbs now since nothing suggested there was something wrong with them last year. On the other hand, all years before I had beautiful flowers. But then prices were a lot lower. Thanks for answering !
I love how much I learn from you. I'm 47 years old and have gardened all my life and STILL learning and experimenting. You put the fun and thrill in gardening. Thanks so much.
Laura, I'm in envy of your cold frame and would love a similar space but only have a small yard. Could you please do a video (or tell us in your weekly Q&A) showing us how to achieve the cold frame benefits on different scale. For example, would a 10 x12 cold frame stay warm enough at night (zone 5b) or do you need the large space to maintain daytime warmth. And do they need to be placed in full sun?
Maybe I can help. I am here in west Michigan zone 6a (5b in a bad year). We put up a Pelram 10x12 cold frame/greenhouse about 3 years ago. The best investment I’ve ever made. In the fall I drag into the greenhouse all my large pots, small pots, plastic etc. and I plant the tulips and daffodils in there. I use the smaller plastic pots as drop ins for larger planters that I can’t move. My technique is Pretty much exactly the way Laura does it. It works great! For years I tried putting bulbs in pots around the yard. I was never successful. If the squirrels didn’t get them, the excess moisture did. In the cold frame I was able to control the watering and the pests at the same time...game changer. I was able to maintain about a 10-15 degree bump on even the coldest nights. I did invest in a small greenhouse heater that I didn’t have to use until April when I brought my stuff that I had started indoors (pansy,viola,snapdragons,stock) outside to harden off. Hope this helps. Good luck!
Accidentally finding you was the best thing ever!! It made me realise I love gardens and now 10 months later I'm always planting and it brings me true joy. All these years later I found my "hobby". Thank u for being so inspiring, best garden channel ever! 🙌
First time planting bulbs 125 to be exact. It was a blast my 13 year old son drilled the holes and I planted the bulbs. Thanks for all the true grand moments.
Hyacinth belongs to Christmas flowers in Finland, they are bought in a reasonable amount as ready-made flower arrangements especially white and purple, pink and blue the poinsettia also belongs to the christmas flowers
This video was so helpful. I recently planted my bulbs in the ground, but I'm dealing with squirrels and chipmunks in my area so I covered everything with chicken wire. Now I see I have other options. Thank you so much! I continue to learn and be inspired every time I watch your videos.
Thank you for the inspiration. I just bought 30 tulips and never thought of putting them in pots. I'm going to try that. You're going to have the most beautiful Spring with all those bulbs blooming in those gorgeous pots. I LOVE you and your family and your cats and your videos. What a joy you are!
Wow, on the giant daffodils! I can't wait to see them when they are in bloom at your house! How big do the giant hyacinth get? They are my favorite bulb. I just love having them in the house, their scent is heavenly!
Does anyone know if there is a video showing the results of this planting? I looked in the channel menu around Spring 2021 but can't find what I'm looking for... (EDIT: found an update on "April Garden Tour" posted April 7, 2021 at starting 26:01 of that video).
Laura; @Garden Answer ; 😀 Claus is from Denmark 🇩🇰 So am I 😊 And I have been following you so long ❤️ You are my inspiration and every day I wait for your video 🙏😊 So funny to se that he was your inspiration.. he is very creative and skilled 😊 thank you for all your hard work. Love from Denmark 🇩🇰
Oh, my goodness!! Now I'm at a crossroads. My daughter recently told me she wants to get married at our farm next Spring, so of course I started planning the plantings!! I ordered hundred of daffodils and Spanish Bluebells and had planned to plant them in the background area of where she decided the vows would take place. But now...I might have to divert some of the funds for more pots!!! So much easier to control the exact placement for the biggest "Ah!" factor. Laura, your timing is impeccable. Thanks so much for your inspiration and tutelage.
Maybe it’s a Scandinavian thing because I’ve seen it on several European gardening Instagram accounts. But that display is gorgeous, especially with aged containers!
Oh coffee with Laura and some amazing bulbs plus a lot of good information about planting bulbs. I love the mixture of things that you picked out and it will be so fun to see them all come up. Thank you for the inspiration!
I can't wait to see the blooms! Laura made me recall a display In Tamaqua, PA. Every spring tulip lovers drive to enjoy the amazing tulip display. Years ago this garden was featured in Better Homes and Gardens magazine. I guess the lady is not publishing pictures of her garden on the Internet. It's our loss! People in the area call her the tulip lady. Hopefully some tulip lover from her area could put pictures of her glorious garden for everyone to enjoy.
I was wondering when you would be planting bulbs! I planted my daffodils Friday. Thank you for the inspiration to plant bulbs in pots. I may have to try it!
You are my Garden Guru Laura A lover of all things living Flora and Fauna I love how you stopped and lovingly showed affection to Cheddar What a Curious Cat! It's funny how most everyone has something different they see in your videos and their comments that follow Here's mine I love the shot of Benjamin looking at this past year's container bulb blooms What my eyes zeroed in on was his fantastic swirl of hair on the crown of his head I love seeing him grow up before my eyes and can't wait to see your Baby Girl With much love and many blessings, From Dearborn Michigan Zoned both 6A and 6B!
I have been gardening since I was knee high and I learn something new from you all the time and with that I have been flower container gardening more. I love the treasure hunt to try and find flowers that will compliment each other in my pots. Thank you for being such an inspiration.🍃💖🍃
OMG PLEASE Link the video showing them blooming in the spring! Can't wait to see them they are going to be beautiful! Great video! Love the cat scenes! Example 15:48
The video I’ve been looking for on how to plant bulbs in containers. Laura it’s a year old and still viable. I enjoy it when you educate and demonstrate. By far my most favorite type of videos you put out. Check it out you got 30% of subscribers viewing it. Impressive on all accounts. I know you’re busy with the South property. But I do hope you’ll continue to teach us in your current processes. Even with all the new stuff going on learning from you never gets old.
Hi Laura - loved seeing your beautiful pots again - can’t wait to see the spectacular spring display! Where are you going to put them on your property?
Laura, thank you for this video, as I also have plans to do this exact same thing with my bulbs for Spring. I’ve ordered my bulbs, been slowly collecting my pots, and I have a tiered metal plant stand that I got from Gardener’s Supply. Now that I’ve gotten your great education video, I’m all set. I’m in zone 8b, so I’ll store my pots under my deck against the house, with a cover. Thank you, your videos are always right on time.
I always used to buy the plastic cheap containers but then you really moved me to start actually purchasing what I want to splurge a little makes my heart sing. And if I take care of them they will last me forever
Thank you so much for this video. I am in zone 6a, Michigan. Last year, I potted a bunch of Tulips in plastic pots & buried them, and then in the spring pulled them & put them in a decorative pot, and they turned out great. I was thinking that since I knew they had to be in the cold for a few months, that this year I would not bury the pots, but from your video, I can see I do need to bury them. I guess I didn't realize that tulips can't freeze. I figured they were frozen in my Michigan weather, even 6 inches in the ground.. Thank you for this !
It's her full time job and business so it obviously necessitates spending their money. Your reacting and commenting gives her more money to throw into her plants.
And if you store them in a refrigerator for their cold period, "chilling", make ABSOLUTE SURE there is NO PRODUCE in the refrigerator. The ethylene that off-gasses from fruit, especially apples, will cause the bulb to NOT bloom.
I chilled some in bottom drawer and bottom part of door. Only double varieties didn’t bloom. Was planning to put in freezer this year, since my freezer isn’t keeping ice cream hard, but apparently it’s not a good idea? I don’t get it....she lives in zone 5-6 and the inground bulbs come back. I wonder how cold the actual ground gets there.
Love this! I am in a zone 9 and always wanted to plant tulips but didn’t think they would grow in my zone. Love how you broke down the information for each growing zone so everyone has a chance to enjoy tulip beauty! Please do more of this
I was so happy that you are planting Spring bulbs in containers. I live in a condo with a small balcony luckily I have a garage. Because I have purchased way too many bulbs I’m just so excited for the spring. You have truly been an inspiration.
Oh my goodness!! Those bulbs look like they are going to be AMAZING!!!! Can't wait till this Spring to see them all arise!!! Going to be gorgeous!!! Perfect backdrop with your new baby girl!!!
Ohhhh, now that the garden is done, this is a whole new wonderful project to take on! I am so inspired! The info in this video was perfect!! And the anticipation of the blooms in the spring will get me thru the winter!!
💕 Who wouldn’t LOVE 💕 to get a ton of bulbs to plant. Laura inspires so many people daily to continue to improve their garden spaces. 💕 Laura has shown so many incredible options of bulbs that with their beauty, would make anyone fall in love with gardening all over again! 🌷 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Loved this idea of planting the bulbs in containers. It’s my first year planting almost 400 bulbs and I think they will be in containers. Thank you Laura for all your tips.
Perfect timing, planting crocus bulbs in my patio container this week. Taking a 'risk'...gonna leave it outside with other plants that I hope to enjoy all winter (many that I learned from this channel, thank you Laura). Just hoping upon hope I have winter and early spring interest on my patio this year. Best take-away from Garden Answer for me: take risks, experiment, learn from successes & failures. 💚
Spring at your house is going to be full of new life all over! I love the colors you've chosen, especially all the whites. Nothing gives that crisp feeling like white does. It makes all the other colors behave. I tried to warn you that Cheddar was creeping up behind you but I guess you couldn't hear me. They so love for us to get down at their level when we garden. Looking forward to seeing these bulbs in bloom! ~ Lisa
I am always so entertained by how much he cat loves her and finds her no matter where she is on the property. So cute.
Cats are very loyal to their chosen one. More sticky then dogs sometimes. Mine stands by the door and meows until her person comes back.
I have notice that
And here comes Cheddar to steal the show! Lol
I think the cat was looking at all those litterboxes😂

Of course I do 😀A fun part of gardening is snooping.I always for example check any garden I see for nice flowers.

Hello! Wondering If you have done an update on these bulbs you planted?
For the spring display: Perhaps you could use dark pots, just flipped upside down, to help stack your containers at different heights.
I am wondering if you will do a follow up to show how these container did
Can we see how these bulbs are doing now, please?

wowsers!! singing "anticipation" over here... that will be spectacular!! fyi, some bulb companies, like Colorblends Wholesale Flowerbulbs, will chill the bulbs for those of us in those warm zones... i ordered bulbs in 2019 from them in september and they chilled them for me for a small fee (like $30?) and then shipped them to me in January 2020 when it was time to plant here in southern california... i loved it because i didn't have to find a place here or use my refrigerator storage for them.. this display is going to be a showstopper!! love the color choices... thanks for the video!!
Raise your hand if you’re excited for Garden Answer holiday videos!! So ready for Christmas cheer on this channel
Thank you so much for explaining my bulb zone requirements. I’m a first time bulb buyer and ordered 600. I could not understand why they haven’t arrived but now I get it, they ship according to my zone for planting purposes. You are the best at making me a better gardener and take me way out of my comfort zone. I can’t wait to pot up my bulbs for spring. Does ZONE 9 mean I can leave my bulbs in the ground all year and they will return? Do I need to dig up all 600 when the season is over? 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Thank you SO much Laura. Last night I was looking for videos on how to plant bulbs in containers and today you appeared with this informative video. It couldn’t come at a better time for me. Thank you VERY much!!!!
Looking forward to seeing all those in bloom they are going to be stunning.
Thanks, this will be a beautiful display. I always did this with my kindergarten class as it is just good to "get dirty" & a great way to teach about the seasons. We kindergarten teachers got the whole school involved after the first couple years & in April, it was a beautiful sight.
How exciting. That will be glorious next spring, and just in time for the little girl! Yippee! I can’t wait! Tfs. 💕💕💕
I can't seem to find the update from this one either. Too bad. One of the best things of this channel is the updates they give. Returning to the same area or containers every few months. Or even every year. I watched 100s of videos and if there is a new one I am watching it. So mostly I am up to speed. But it's not always easy to find it afterwards. Too bad YT does not work with tags or so. Even searching in this channel does not always come up with usable links and the order is totally random. That's YT's fault.
She gave an update on her instagram and said that this project was a fail. The Tulips in these containers never sprouted / bloomed .
@@bonita10132 Ah too bad. I only watch them on yt really so I missed that. Well, happened to me too last year. Huge basket of tulips and daffodils and somewhere in May a bit green but no way near flowers. I guess in my case the seller stored them wrong or so. I am having more difficulties spending 30 euro again on bulbs now since nothing suggested there was something wrong with them last year. On the other hand, all years before I had beautiful flowers. But then prices were a lot lower. Thanks for answering !
Looove Claus Dalby, I live close to him and have been invited to his garden once. 😊
Wow! Lucky... I'm so envious. His displays are amazing!
Amazing for you💚
I love how much I learn from you. I'm 47 years old and have gardened all my life and STILL learning and experimenting. You put the fun and thrill in gardening. Thanks so much.
Laura, I'm in envy of your cold frame and would love a similar space but only have a small yard. Could you please do a video (or tell us in your weekly Q&A) showing us how to achieve the cold frame benefits on different scale. For example, would a 10 x12 cold frame stay warm enough at night (zone 5b) or do you need the large space to maintain daytime warmth. And do they need to be placed in full sun?
I would love the same info! Hello from a Colorado gardener!
I would like the same here.. since I'm looking to add a green house.. here in Va 8a
Maybe I can help. I am here in west Michigan zone 6a (5b in a bad year). We put up a Pelram 10x12 cold frame/greenhouse about 3 years ago. The best investment I’ve ever made. In the fall I drag into the greenhouse all my large pots, small pots, plastic etc. and I plant the tulips and daffodils in there. I use the smaller plastic pots as drop ins for larger planters that I can’t move. My technique is Pretty much exactly the way Laura does it. It works great! For years I tried putting bulbs in pots around the yard. I was never successful. If the squirrels didn’t get them, the excess moisture did. In the cold frame I was able to control the watering and the pests at the same time...game changer. I was able to maintain about a 10-15 degree bump on even the coldest nights. I did invest in a small greenhouse heater that I didn’t have to use until April when I brought my stuff that I had started indoors (pansy,viola,snapdragons,stock) outside to harden off. Hope this helps. Good luck!
@@shellydevries6083 thank you, great information.
Would be interested also ... i am in Michigan also 6a (now) 🤗
Accidentally finding you was the best thing ever!!
It made me realise I love gardens and now 10 months later I'm always planting and it brings me true joy.
All these years later I found my "hobby".
Thank u for being so inspiring, best garden channel ever! 🙌
This inspired me. Just bought some bulbs and now anxiously awaiting them to get in!
I can not wait to see these in all their glory in the Spring. These Bulbs + These Planters = Perfection
It's funny how happy I feel on seeing 'video posted 2 mins ago'. Monday just got a little bit better! ❤️
Hey I saw it when it was 15 seconds ago.That feels so great😀
Is it Monday where you are? I live in Australia it’s Monday here too.
@@TheManojcm1 I know right? 😊
@@mietta11 Yes it's Monday evening here in India and Laura's videos are perfect to watch after a busy Monday (any day for real 🤭 )
@@desirejay95 I watch her videos at night except for the garden tours love to watch them on a weekend with a cupcake. Stay safe.
First time planting bulbs 125 to be exact. It was a blast my 13 year old son drilled the holes and I planted the bulbs. Thanks for all the true grand moments.
I learn so much from you. Never in my life would I have thought to put bulbs in a container. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
I planted a pot of bulbs yesterday. Thank you for the directions of what to do next. Can't wait for spring!
I’m trying my hand at these, I’m grateful for the lesson before I start! Thank you!
Who here would love to (theoretically) raid Laura’s cold frame? So many beautiful things!!!
Hyacinth belongs to Christmas flowers in Finland, they are bought in a reasonable amount as ready-made flower arrangements
especially white and purple, pink and blue the poinsettia also belongs to the christmas flowers
This video was so helpful. I recently planted my bulbs in the ground, but I'm dealing with squirrels and chipmunks in my area so I covered everything with chicken wire. Now I see I have other options. Thank you so much! I continue to learn and be inspired every time I watch your videos.

Thanks. Now I have that song stuck in my head. Better than Baby Shark I guess.
Thank you for the inspiration. I just bought 30 tulips and never thought of putting them in pots. I'm going to try that. You're going to have the most beautiful Spring with all those bulbs blooming in those gorgeous pots. I LOVE you and your family and your cats and your videos. What a joy you are!
Wow, on the giant daffodils! I can't wait to see them when they are in bloom at your house! How big do the giant hyacinth get? They are my favorite bulb. I just love having them in the house, their scent is heavenly!
Does anyone know if there is a video showing the results of this planting? I looked in the channel menu around Spring 2021 but can't find what I'm looking for... (EDIT: found an update on "April Garden Tour" posted April 7, 2021 at starting 26:01 of that video).
Laura;
@Garden Answer ; 😀 Claus is from Denmark 🇩🇰 So am I 😊 And I have been following you so long ❤️ You are my inspiration and every day I wait for your video 🙏😊 So funny to se that he was your inspiration.. he is very creative and skilled 😊 thank you for all your hard work. Love from Denmark 🇩🇰
Can you post an update on these. So we can see how they grow
Those containers look so pretty
I mean I love soil as well as the shape of containers😂
Lol
Oh, my goodness!! Now I'm at a crossroads. My daughter recently told me she wants to get married at our farm next Spring, so of course I started planning the plantings!! I ordered hundred of daffodils and Spanish Bluebells and had planned to plant them in the background area of where she decided the vows would take place. But now...I might have to divert some of the funds for more pots!!! So much easier to control the exact placement for the biggest "Ah!" factor. Laura, your timing is impeccable. Thanks so much for your inspiration and tutelage.
Maybe it’s a Scandinavian thing because I’ve seen it on several European gardening Instagram accounts. But that display is gorgeous, especially with aged containers!
Oh coffee with Laura and some amazing bulbs plus a lot of good information about planting bulbs. I love the mixture of things that you picked out and it will be so fun to see them all come up. Thank you for the inspiration!
Sooo looking forward to seeing all these bulbs next spring! 🌷⚘
I can't wait to see the blooms! Laura made me recall a display In Tamaqua, PA. Every spring tulip lovers drive to enjoy the amazing tulip display. Years ago this garden was featured in Better Homes and Gardens magazine. I guess the lady is not publishing pictures of her garden on the Internet. It's our loss! People in the area call her the tulip lady. Hopefully some tulip lover from her area could put pictures of her glorious garden for everyone to enjoy.
Could use pallets for the stands for pots. Painted black even
Any photos of them in full bloom please
I was wondering when you would be planting bulbs! I planted my daffodils Friday. Thank you for the inspiration to plant bulbs in pots. I may have to try it!
You are my Garden Guru Laura

I love how you stopped and lovingly showed affection to Cheddar
What a Curious Cat!
It's funny how most everyone has something different they see in your videos and their comments that follow
Here's mine
I love the shot of Benjamin looking at this past year's container bulb blooms
What my eyes zeroed in on was his fantastic swirl of hair on the crown of his head
I love seeing him grow up before my eyes and can't wait to see your

With much love and many blessings,

Zoned both 6A and 6B!
Perfect timing! I’ve been getting nervous anticipating my bulb delivery!!
No need to, A novice like me planted bulbs for the first time last year, with great results, just need good soil and you should be good
Thanks you
@@verawallace9055 thank you! My delivery comes in two days!! 🌸
You're Welcome, best of luck to you both 🍁🌷
I have been gardening since I was knee high and I learn something new from you all the time and with that I have been flower container gardening more. I love the treasure hunt to try and find flowers that will compliment each other in my pots. Thank you for being such an inspiration.🍃💖🍃
Good morning! 🌻🐝
Good evening
OMG PLEASE Link the video showing them blooming in the spring! Can't wait to see them they are going to be beautiful! Great video! Love the cat scenes! Example 15:48
The video I’ve been looking for on how to plant bulbs in containers. Laura it’s a year old and still viable. I enjoy it when you educate and demonstrate. By far my most favorite type of videos you put out. Check it out you got 30% of subscribers viewing it. Impressive on all accounts. I know you’re busy with the South property. But I do hope you’ll continue to teach us in your current processes. Even with all the new stuff going on learning from you never gets old.
From his wifeRose, you inspire me more and more each time I watch your videos! Thanks a million!
Hi Laura - loved seeing your beautiful pots again - can’t wait to see the spectacular spring display! Where are you going to put them on your property?
It sounded like she liked the idea of entryways in groups.
Laura, thank you for this video, as I also have plans to do this exact same thing with my bulbs for Spring. I’ve ordered my bulbs, been slowly collecting my pots, and I have a tiered metal plant stand that I got from Gardener’s Supply. Now that I’ve gotten your great education video, I’m all set. I’m in zone 8b, so I’ll store my pots under my deck against the house, with a cover. Thank you, your videos are always right on time.
Planting bulbs in the fall is like getting pregnant with flowers. Thank you for the inspiration!
Pregnant with flowers is so much more pleasant than with child. 🤣 Less pain at "birth."
Can you please share pics of this from spring ?
i knew you were gonna post something with bulbs! Theres a video you posted exactly 4 years ago
I always used to buy the plastic cheap containers but then you really moved me to start actually purchasing what I want to splurge a little makes my heart sing. And if I take care of them they will last me forever
Thank you so much for this video. I am in zone 6a, Michigan. Last year, I potted a bunch of Tulips in plastic pots & buried them, and then in the spring pulled them & put them in a decorative pot, and they turned out great. I was thinking that since I knew they had to be in the cold for a few months, that this year I would not bury the pots, but from your video, I can see I do need to bury them. I guess I didn't realize that tulips can't freeze. I figured they were frozen in my Michigan weather, even 6 inches in the ground.. Thank you for this !
Waoo
I'm so excited to see how yours will be displayed. I've got 300 bulbs on order and excited about this project!
is it me or do these people always seem to have thousands of pounds to throw at gardens
It's her full time job and business so it obviously necessitates spending their money. Your reacting and commenting gives her more money to throw into her plants.
Her family owns a garden center.
She sells these at her garden center

Just in time! I haven't planted tulips before in pots, but just ordered some, and will use Laura''s info for planting.
And if you store them in a refrigerator for their cold period, "chilling", make ABSOLUTE SURE there is NO PRODUCE in the refrigerator. The ethylene that off-gasses from fruit, especially apples, will cause the bulb to NOT bloom.
I thought it's ethylene that fruits emit, no?
@@Bamboo4U2 You are correct, I am wrong. I'll see if I can edit my comment. Always think Methane, but that's cows!
I chilled some in bottom drawer and bottom part of door. Only double varieties didn’t bloom. Was planning to put in freezer this year, since my freezer isn’t keeping ice cream hard, but apparently it’s not a good idea? I don’t get it....she lives in zone 5-6 and the inground bulbs come back. I wonder how cold the actual ground gets there.
@@Wazupu florists probably know the ideal temperature range for forcing bulbs and/or bulb growers. It's (I think) an interesting topic to explore.
@@1erickjon I can delete my initial response if you want. Let me know.
Love this! I am in a zone 9 and always wanted to plant tulips but didn’t think they would grow in my zone. Love how you broke down the information for each growing zone so everyone has a chance to enjoy tulip beauty! Please do more of this
First comment :)
Nope
It was me
@@TheManojcm1 nopeee
I am so excited over planting 150 bulbs for spring, I know yours will be gorgeous in those beautiful containers!
I was so happy that you are planting Spring bulbs in containers. I live in a condo with a small balcony luckily I have a garage. Because I have purchased way too many bulbs I’m just so excited for the spring. You have truly been an inspiration.
Oh, I can't wait till Spring!!! Lilacs and Tulips are my favorites!!!
Oh my goodness!! Those bulbs look like they are going to be AMAZING!!!! Can't wait till this Spring to see them all arise!!! Going to be gorgeous!!! Perfect backdrop with your new baby girl!!!
Ohhhh, now that the garden is done, this is a whole new wonderful project to take on! I am so inspired! The info in this video was perfect!! And the anticipation of the blooms in the spring will get me thru the winter!!
💕 Who wouldn’t LOVE 💕 to get a ton of bulbs to plant. Laura inspires so many people daily to continue to improve their garden spaces. 💕 Laura has shown so many incredible options of bulbs that with their beauty, would make anyone fall in love with gardening all over again! 🌷 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
I know its not your favorite chore, but I love your fall bulb planting tutorials
Loved this idea of planting the bulbs in containers. It’s my first year planting almost 400 bulbs and I think they will be in containers. Thank you Laura for all your tips.
Perfect timing, planting crocus bulbs in my patio container this week. Taking a 'risk'...gonna leave it outside with other plants that I hope to enjoy all winter (many that I learned from this channel, thank you Laura). Just hoping upon hope I have winter and early spring interest on my patio this year. Best take-away from Garden Answer for me: take risks, experiment, learn from successes & failures. 💚
These are going to be so beautiful! I love those concrete containers! I can't wait to see these in all of their glory!
Purple and white, love those colors together! These containers are gorgeous! Thanks for this informative video!
Spring at your house is going to be full of new life all over! I love the colors you've chosen, especially all the whites. Nothing gives that crisp feeling like white does. It makes all the other colors behave.
I tried to warn you that Cheddar was creeping up behind you but I guess you couldn't hear me. They so love for us to get down at their level when we garden. Looking forward to seeing these bulbs in bloom! ~ Lisa
