I wonder if Laura would plant them out there. I thought she had said no perennials out there, but who knows...lol. I'm sure she'll find a space for them either way though. A mass of tulips would be gorgeous!
Yes! And since she knows how to can, she could have lemon curd for years 😀 🍋 Oh, and lemon syrup for instant lemonade, soaking pound cake… and limoncello and cocktails and…. 😉
Yes, I was thinking about it too! Zest all the lemons and dry it. And juice them all and freeze some on ice cubes treys,..... Lemon curd is my favorite! I wonder if you can water bath them to make them shelf stable! If someone knows, let me know please 🤗
Ooooh, ever seen P Allen Smith’s acres of daffodils in Arkansas? There are pics on his site, and remember his show when they planted them. Such overwhelming beauty in the spring!
Once again, I am amazed at how much work Laura can get done. I love her contagious enthusiasm. I can't wait to see the tulips in bloom. But my favorite was Russell's approach, prancing along the table, & then tiptoeing down a flower pot, all for pets. Love that little cat!
There was a local florist in Montreal who would force tulips in vintage wood crates of different sizes...So pretty!... If you could find a few, you could display these in the Hartley when they bloom , in your home . ..Idaho antique shopping trip with your mom coming up after Thanksgiving?? Hope so !
Ooooh I can't wait Laura!! After all what good is it to have a heated green house if not to do this! You always find unique ideas any time of year. That's why we all love you!
Permanent marker wipes off easily if you write over it with a dry erase marker and wipe off immediately. We do this all the time at school when the wrong marker finds its way to the white board.
A natural born leader and teacher Laura. I enjoy you so much. And , I learn so much from you. I’m really excited to see the results and what you’ll do with the flowers. Thank you.
I wonder how early your bulbs would bloom in the Hartley exterior beds with the covers, they would be beautiful planted up closely like this😍❤️so you could snip some for arranging. ❤❤❤
After watching folks planting bulb lawns and having recently gotten the 7 inch auger, I put myself to work making a bulb mosaic. Instead of planting willy-nilly I planted a grid. Dutch master daffodils, grape muscari, ballerina tulips and queen of the night. 25 holesin a line 1 direction and until I ran out of bulbs. I blanted over 2000 of that mix each 1 getting its own 7 inch hole and then filling each hole with 1 type of bulb then repeating. I'm hoping for the best. I did this in a newly planted orchard. All the fruit tree's have imperial fritillaria planted around them as well. All new, can't wait until spring. Have you ever heard of anyone else doing such a thing?
Sounds beautiful! Would love to see it. Used to live near a cottage that we would visit every Spring to see Snow drops and Grape Hyacinths bloom. So pretty!
Love the blue tree! So peaceful. The greenhouse is going to be gorgeous when those bulbs bloom. It'll be such a welcome, while in the dreary, cold days of January. It's so much fun to be a part of the projects inside when you can't be outside playing in the gardens.
I think I love that blue and white tree more than any of the ones you've done, and I love a lot of them. We moved last summer from Texas to Albuquerque so I'm adjusting to a high desert climate. All those years watching GA suddenly has new relevance. ❤
Isn’t it amazing how much you’ve learned over the years that you didn’t know you were going to need? I’ve now lived in CA, OR, CO, and western WA and somehow, no matter what the environment, I’ve learn things from GA that are relevent. 😂
@@raeperonneau4941 Same here, and NM, Nebraska, Tn. Albuquerque has a great climate, but you would probably have to refrigerator your bulbs unless you lived on the other side of Sandia Crest.
I have planted bulbs in the late winter and in the spring after keeping them in a refridge for awhile. They did great! Once planted in the landscape I leave them. Some have been blooming there for years. I can not wait to see these bulbs bloom. I love your channel you have made me a better gardener for years now! From northern Minnesota.
I’m in Southern California, we have Lemon, Lime and Orange trees, some years we get so many fruits, that we juice them all into ice cube trays then transfer them to the ice cream storage boxes and have fresh juice cubes all year long. This year we don’t have as manny lemons and oranges as we cut back both trees significantly last year after harvest, which is usually around December or January.
My little town of Fremont in Eastern NC, is known as the Daffodil Town. We even have a Daffodil Festival in late March. No one ever digs and stores their bulbs. We just leave them in the ground and cut back the foliage after it has completely died back. I've noticed on the ColorBlends website that there are many varieties of Daffodil that are not rated for our zone 8a. So maybe the varieties that thrive in the South don't need as much cold? Daffodils have always been my favorite and remind me of both of my grandmothers, whose yards were full of beautiful Daffodils every spring.
I’m just over the state line in Butler TN and planted 1200 daffodils the first year we bought our house. The ones in the lower meadow have thrived, but sadly we must get too much rain in the spring because the ones in the upper yard have severely dwindled over the past few years. 😞 Thanks for sharing that info so I can run over to see them in your town next year!! ETA - do I have the right town? What came up on map app is central NC north of Goldsboro?
Recht herzlichen Dank, liebe Laura ,für diese wunderbaren Tipps. Ich freue mich auf weitere Videos und wenn Sie in Ihrem Haus dekorieren, daß macht mir Spaß und ich werde total animiert auch zu Hause bei mir Weihnachten zu schmücken. Liebe Grüße Anja von Germany😊❤
Twenty nine crates of bulbs!! Wow! They will be incredible when they bloom. It's really daunting to see you start such a big project but you always finish in no time. At least from our perspective.🤗
The minute you put that first crate down I thought oh no, kitty litter! Glad you put chicken wire over all those crates. It should be a spectacular show and I’m the same way out in the garden, I hate cutting them because they’re so beautiful.
Earlier this year, I was trying to think of a good fundraiser for a charity I work with and thought if our members donated excess dahlia tubers, we might have enough to create nice collections to sell. That was impractical for our small group, but have you considered allowing one of your local charities to send members to dig and collect some of your bulbs and/or tubers for a fundraiser.? You have such gorgeous varieties; I bet people would love to buy a collection, especially for a good cause!
Do you all remember the video with the DIY ivy topiary? I made a few and they are so full and beautiful. They make a wonderful gift and require very little maintenance.
My neighbor's cat was using our raised beds as litter boxes so I had to cover them recently until the green onions sprouted. Glad you mentiined you would cover the crates. 😊❤
Oooohhhh, backing the little squares behind the benches in the cut flower garden would be beautiful!!! Imagine them all surrounded in a bed of tulips or daffodils. It would be so nice!
that's a whole lotta bulbs!! imagine opening the door to your greenhouse and seeing all these blooms!! and fragrance from some... oh my...what a neat idea... i was thinking you could just plant some of those out in the dirtlands where the trees are and just let them naturalize... but i know they will find good homes... love that water lily and those lemons!! obviously loving their tropical paradise in your greenhouse... the ornaments are beautiful.. i have a blue and white tree but we call it the snowman tree because it's got all sorts of snowmen ornaments and other winter-looking ornaments, one of my favorite trees, too... what a fun day planting "anticipation" 🤩 🥰❤thanks for the video!! 🥰❤
Put dirt in lined tray, add BulbTone, add bulbs, add a LITTLE dirt to keep the bulbs set in place, put tray on ground, add remaining soil, please. I don't want to see you get your back messed up like mine. I used to lift heavy things, now I am 60+ and I'm paying a high health price. Please stay well; people love you and want you around for a very long time. I know you're strong. I was too. Also, smart move with the chicken wire
I never see Cheddar anymore. Laura, I admire all you do year round. I sure wish I had your beautiful imagination on gardening! I just buy what I love and find a spot to plant in my flower beds. I look forward to your videos each day! I found you in 2018 when I retired and am so glad I did. You have inspired me so much. I am 68 and have arthritis in my back, but I just keep going. Thank you for sharing your love of gardening with us! ❤😊
So fun! I can’t wait to see the pretty flowers growing in those bulb crates. I bet your VIP email orders wouldn’t have minded finding a few bulbs thrown in our shipping box. 😉
The bulb video was great! Would you consider planting some of those bulbs on the down slope of your newest property and just let them naturalize and no need to cut back the foliage. It would be beautiful and so easy.
One year I forced several types of bulbs and it was glorious when they bloomed! I had red tulips planted in a huge pot and when it bloomed it was beautiful. I had daffs, hibiscus and muscari grape hyacinth. It was so beautiful when they bloomed. The aroma of the flowers was like heaven. It was almost too much at times 😂. ❤
🤔 hmmm, me calculating the drive from Portland to Andrew's seed for bulbs 😆. Also- you need some lemon recipes! What beautiful 🍋's! You could make candied lemon rinds for Christmas! 🎄
All those tulips and daffodils are going to be absolutely stunning! Question: rather than give away all the remaining bulbs, why not plant them permanently in your landscape?
Boy, if all of those come up and bloom, it will be a treat for sure! Looking forward to the updates. I think blue, white and silver Christmas trees are my absolute favorite. It seems to be the one I'm drawn to almost every year. Since we're on the coast of Oregon and don't get snow or very cold, I think the wintry vibe of the blue, white and silver decorations help for the holidays. At least for me.😊
It will be so nice to see spring flowers when we're in the thick of winter. I remember all the beautiful daffodils that you delivered to the retirement home. ❤
You are such an inspiration 29 crates oh my I can feel my bones hurting. You are such a trooper. But what a beautiful spring site looking forward to all the color. Thank you ❤🌹❤🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹🌷🌷🌷🌷
Hi Laura, just curious but why not take some of your tulip bulbs and plant them around all the new trees in your cut flower garden. Between the tree and the shrubs?
Wow! That's a whole lot of bulbs. I absolutely love that blue Christmas tree - I hope to try something like it myself someday. Russell - what a sweetie. I saw you lining up those crates up and thought to myself, she's going to have to cover those, or the cats will use them as litter boxes. I know my cats would.
What if you took some of your pretty containers and potted up a few bulbs to use to decorate for Easter? Also, that lemon tree is beautiful! Definitely make some lemoncello, candies lemon rind, preserved lemons… lots of recipe possibilities!
I asked for a 60v drill for Christmas so I can use bigger augers. That's all I need! I have 2 that I can use with my 20v but I want to plant bigger things! ❤️ Thank you for continuing to inspire!
hahaha There’s always the joke about how insulting it is for the ‘housewife’ to get a vacuum for Christmas, but I *LOVE* getting new tools too! (bought myself a huge Cub Cadet riding mower for my birthday this summer 😂) Hope you love your new drill!
I’ve been collecting ornaments a good 20 years. A few special ones every year. Now I don’t need to use the cheap ornaments anymore and I spread out the cost of a tree full of nice ornaments.
Love your garden!! What about adding what is left in your kitchen garden where the Locust tree was?You’ll have a gorgeous show before redoing the area.
I can't wait to see all the beautiful color in a few months. The dreary days of winter and you will have glorious blooms. Have a blessed day everyone. Also, love the deep blue ornaments your Mom found for you. She is the best.
Loved this video! Makes me so excited for spring! Two things: 1) did you build your tables in the greenhouse or purchase them? If you built them is there a video on that project? 2) video request for more winter sowing of perennials I’m a new homeowner trying to beautify my sad yard on a budget so trying to start lots of great plants from seed! Love your videos have a happy thanksgiving!
Good morning Laura! It will be exciting to see all the colors in January! Just an idea, try using nail polish remover to clean off all the garden markers of old writing. It should take it right off. Hugs from N.C..❤
Agree about Russell! He actually turned me into a cat lover after 60 years of thinking I didn't like them. Such a sweetie! I even like feisty Douglas. A complete 180.
I thought the grate of Blushing Lady was going to do you in. Now imagine Blushing Girl Monet tulips as a miniature arrangement in Samantha's bedroom. They are exquisite.
I watch a TH-camr in Positano Italy and they have an arbor under their lemon tree and the branches lay on the arbor and the lemons hang below but still overhead if your walking. Seems like the perfect solution for all those heavily loaded branches.
I have a 4-5 year old lemon tree and it does the same thing every fall when I take it inside....leaves yellow and drop. I think it's just a seasonal thing since the plant seems fine otherwise. I fertilize it with Espoma Citrus Tone. One year it almost totally defoliated but it flourished again once put outside for the summer. Mine is loaded with lemons too. I would never have tried to grow a lemon tree if it wasn't for you Laura.🙂
😂 I have the same problem with cutting flowers as they look so good and you want the border to look good. That is why a small cutting garden in an area nestled behind other things that you don’t see until you are there is the best. Hidden then it doesn’t matter if you cut all the flowers off!
Laura, I love how you commit to a project. The tulip planting appears to be an exercise in tedium, but we ALL pray for a glorious pay off. The greenhouse will be beautiful lined with tulips. I live in coastal NC , zone 8b, and our environment isn’t favorable for tulip growing so I always. Live vicariously through your efforts.
i am finishing up my fall blub planting ! 650 when done!!! i love the show in spring!! wish i had the heated greenhouse i would absolutely love flowers in January!! hey are you doing winter sowing in milk jugs this year!?
I loove to see this project! It will be so interesting to see how it works! Question: 1 Are you going to keep the varieties that come back and bloom and do the same thing again? Or what is the plan ahead? 2 Why don’t you put some of the bulbs in the ground in other parts of the garden? The Delnashaugh for instance would look gorgeous almost anywhere with your other spring bloomers! I fell in love with it and managed to find One nursery here that had them. So I have dug them down in my garden and look so much forward to see them irl! Thank You for an amazing Chanel I have learned so much new things even though I have gardened for a long long time! Lots of love from Sweden 🇸🇪 and Florida 🇺🇸
Imagine planting the rest of the bulbs in the birm where the big evergreens are , imagine how it'll look in the spring😍
what a fun idea!
I wonder if Laura would plant them out there. I thought she had said no perennials out there, but who knows...lol. I'm sure she'll find a space for them either way though. A mass of tulips would be gorgeous!
Holy lemon tree.. you need to make some lemonade, lemon tarts, lemon pie, lemon curd..
Yes! And since she knows how to can, she could have lemon curd for years 😀 🍋 Oh, and lemon syrup for instant lemonade, soaking pound cake… and limoncello and cocktails and…. 😉
Lemon brownies, lemon square cookies, canned lemon juice... 😋 😃
Yes, I was thinking about it too! Zest all the lemons and dry it. And juice them all and freeze some on ice cubes treys,..... Lemon curd is my favorite! I wonder if you can water bath them to make them shelf stable! If someone knows, let me know please 🤗
Moroccan lemon preserves with a little bit of sea salt and sugar and in 30 days it’s just so so good. Specially good with turkey or any meat dishes.
I can imagine all those bulbs planted under the evergreen border on dirt lands and left to naturalize ❤❤❤
This is what I came on to say! You could use the tractor to dig big trenches and just throw them in and see how successful it was!!?
YES!!! Would be amazing
Especially the daffodils. They naturalize better than tulips.
Ooooh, ever seen P Allen Smith’s acres of daffodils in Arkansas? There are pics on his site, and remember his show when they planted them. Such overwhelming beauty in the spring!
Yes! I hope she gets into woodland planting!! A sea of blue bells would be beautiful
TIPTOE THROUGH THE TULIPS 🎶 WHO REMEMBERS TINY TIM
Once again, I am amazed at how much work Laura can get done. I love her contagious enthusiasm. I can't wait to see the tulips in bloom. But my favorite was Russell's approach, prancing along the table, & then tiptoeing down a flower pot, all for pets. Love that little cat!
Poor Russell...at 15'40" he looked like he was saying, "Mom, can I have this soft spot to lay on....please?"
There was a local florist in Montreal who would force tulips in vintage wood crates of different sizes...So pretty!... If you could find a few, you could display these in the Hartley when they bloom , in your home . ..Idaho antique shopping trip with your mom coming up after Thanksgiving?? Hope so !
I think the would look stunning in front of all the Evergreens in the dirt lands!
Ooooh I can't wait Laura!! After all what good is it to have a heated green house if not to do this! You always find unique ideas any time of year. That's why we all love you!
Laura try rubbing alcohol on your plant stakes. I use it on storage bins I mark with sharpies and it wipes it right off :)
I was about to suggest the same thing! I even do that on mason jars, which I use to store all kinds of things inside.
Nail polish remover also works or sometimes writing over top of the ink with an ‘dry erase’ marker and then wiping it.
Acetone/ Nail polish remover!
I was going to post the same thing 😊
Permanent marker wipes off easily if you write over it with a dry erase marker and wipe off immediately. We do this all the time at school when the wrong marker finds its way to the white board.
When Russell was checking out the crates I thought the same thing (litter boxes).😊
The tulip and daffodil will be stunning and your mom is such a sweetheart bringing those gorgeous ornaments for you ❤
A natural born leader and teacher Laura. I enjoy you so much. And , I learn so much from you.
I’m really excited to see the results and what you’ll do with the flowers.
Thank you.
I wonder how early your bulbs would bloom in the Hartley exterior beds with the covers, they would be beautiful planted up closely like this😍❤️so you could snip some for arranging. ❤❤❤
Can't wait to see the rows of tulips and daffodils! Simply marvelous. You have the best ideas.

Sounds beautiful! Would love to see it. Used to live near a cottage that we would visit every Spring to see Snow drops and Grape Hyacinths bloom. So pretty!
Awesome...all gardeners are so inspiring. Would love to see. Thanks for the idea .
Kudos to you!!! Keep us posted--Tracy!

Your blue Christmas tree is STUNNING. I love it so much.
That will be beautiful. If you plant up more crates or containers in 2 and 4 weeks you will have tulips for months.
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day ❤️ 🎄
I think I love that blue and white tree more than any of the ones you've done, and I love a lot of them.

@@raeperonneau4941 Ditto! I’m in Arizona and find all kinds of useful information watching GA.
@@raeperonneau4941
Same here, and NM, Nebraska, Tn. Albuquerque has a great climate, but you would probably have to refrigerator your bulbs unless you lived on the other side of Sandia Crest.
You could use small binder clips to hold the fabric to the crate.
Big ones to get over the edge of the crates.
I have planted bulbs in the late winter and in the spring after keeping them in a refridge for awhile. They did great! Once planted in the landscape I leave them.

Same here.
My neighbor's cat was using our raised beds as litter boxes so I had to cover them recently until the green onions sprouted. Glad you mentiined you would cover the crates. 😊❤

Cheddar lives at Bethany's house now.
Good morning from -23 degree Celsius snowy southern Alberta!
I can relate to that kind of cold. I lived in Wyoming for a while. Winters were long and frigid.
BLACK HARDWARE CLOTH across the crates to keep the cats off!
So fun! I can’t wait to see the pretty flowers growing in those bulb crates. I bet your VIP email orders wouldn’t have minded finding a few bulbs thrown in our shipping box. 😉
Such a fun project! You should try succession planting them next year so you have tulips for months instead of all at once! 😱😍

Love Russell taking a nap in the crate on the table. Can't wait to see all the blooms! 🥰
It would be fun to plant some in the new cut flower beds in a pattern.
19:34 Hi Laura, your lemon tree wants blood and bone, a little potash, and some fish hydrolysate! They’re greedy little trees!
I was looking through the comments to see if someone mentioned this before I did. Thank you!!!
his I'd use some Koi Pond Water myself. I'd dilute it with fresh water & also test it to be sure it's a safe (without algae). 🙋
Boy, if all of those come up and bloom, it will be a treat for sure! Looking forward to the updates. I think blue, white and silver Christmas trees are my absolute favorite. It seems to be the one I'm drawn to almost every year. Since we're on the coast of Oregon and don't get snow or very cold, I think the wintry vibe of the blue, white and silver decorations help for the holidays. At least for me.😊
Wouldn’t it make sense to plant a crate of bulbs each week? Then you could cut a bunch successively for ages! 🌷🌹🌷🌹
It will be so nice to see spring flowers when we're in the thick of winter. I remember all the beautiful daffodils that you delivered to the retirement home. ❤
Fantastic use of the greenhouse to force the tulip and daffodil blooms for a January display of Spring! 🌷
A master at creating work.
Another happy day with Laura🎉
The lemon tree is phenomenal.
Also, love your experiment with tulip and daffodil bulbs. Will be watching to see the blooms.
Love your show , sometimes I can’t watch but I still listen while working
I’m so impressed! It wouldn’t even occur to me to do this. I love the idea.
You are such an inspiration 29 crates oh my I can feel my bones hurting. You are such a trooper. But what a beautiful spring site looking forward to all the color.
Thank you
❤🌹❤🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹🌷🌷🌷🌷
What a great idea. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 looking forward to all the blooms. 😎🇦🇺
What a great idea! Even the crates look beautiful already-but looking forward to seeing pops of green and then POW-Color!!!
Hi Laura, just curious but why not take some of your tulip bulbs and plant them around all the new trees in your cut flower garden. Between the tree and the shrubs?

Here’s a tip for you Laura, you can use acetone to clean the writing off old plant tags. Works a treat!
29 kitty litter boxes! Can’t wait till the flowers come up!
Cool Idea! Looks like you have alot of winter projects in that greenhouse,girl!
I'm in zone 7 and we never have to dig daffodils, but tulips are generally grown as annuals.

Next time wait to fill the crates the rest of the way until they are on the ground so you don’t get hurt
I’ve been collecting ornaments a good 20 years. A few special ones every year. Now I don’t need to use the cheap ornaments anymore and I spread out the cost of a tree full of nice ornaments.
You could plant a few drifts of daffs out in the dirt land or on the new berm on the new property, even if you eventually remove them.
I totally agree!!
Love your garden!! What about adding what is left in your kitchen garden where the Locust tree was?You’ll have a gorgeous show before redoing the area.
I can't wait to see all the beautiful color in a few months. The dreary days of winter and you will have glorious blooms. Have a blessed day everyone. Also, love the deep blue ornaments your Mom found for you. She is the best.
Loved this video! Makes me so excited for spring! Two things: 1) did you build your tables in the greenhouse or purchase them? If you built them is there a video on that project? 2) video request for more winter sowing of perennials I’m a new homeowner trying to beautify my sad yard on a budget so trying to start lots of great plants from seed! Love your videos have a happy thanksgiving!
Good morning Laura! It will be exciting to see all the colors in January! Just an idea, try using nail polish remover to clean off all the garden markers of old writing. It should take it right off. Hugs from N.C..❤
That was a lot of work phew. I am still trying to get my lemon tree to give me lemons yours look amazing. Russel is just so special.
Agree about Russell! He actually turned me into a cat lover after 60 years of thinking I didn't like them. Such a sweetie! I even like feisty Douglas. A complete 180.

I think your decision to use your poly tunnels for cut flowers is brilliant! You may expand that concept!😸
I thought the grate of Blushing Lady was going to do you in. Now imagine Blushing Girl Monet tulips as a miniature arrangement in Samantha's bedroom. They are exquisite.
The greenhouse is going to be beautiful come January. 😊❤
Nail polish remover removes the marker off super easy.
Wow, Laura the pink geranium is beautiful and that lemon tree is amazing!! Great work!!
I watch a TH-camr in Positano Italy and they have an arbor under their lemon tree and the branches lay on the arbor and the lemons hang below but still overhead if your walking. Seems like the perfect solution for all those heavily loaded branches.
I have a 4-5 year old lemon tree and it does the same thing every fall when I take it inside....leaves yellow and drop. I think it's just a seasonal thing since the plant seems fine otherwise. I fertilize it with Espoma Citrus Tone. One year it almost totally defoliated but it flourished again once put outside for the summer. Mine is loaded with lemons too. I would never have tried to grow a lemon tree if it wasn't for you Laura.🙂
The pond and stream area would be magical in the spring with some tulips and daffodils popping up in a few places.
😂 I have the same problem with cutting flowers as they look so good and you want the border to look good. That is why a small cutting garden in an area nestled behind other things that you don’t see until you are there is the best. Hidden then it doesn’t matter if you cut all the flowers off!
Lemon Tree, wowzers!
Plant some of those bulbs out in the high tunnels and spread the bloom out longer.
Laura, I love how you commit to a project. The tulip planting appears to be an exercise in tedium, but we ALL pray for a glorious pay off. The greenhouse will be beautiful lined with tulips. I live in coastal NC , zone 8b, and our environment isn’t favorable for tulip growing so I always. Live vicariously through your efforts.
How wonderful . I’d love a Garden Answer calendar with pictures of all your project successes. lol idea for another time.
The blue themed tree is my favorite.
Great idea! I, too, have a gard time cutting flowers 💐 out of my garden!
Love all your different experiments can't wait to see how this comes out ❣️
I love bulbs but never grow them here in 10a. Your blue tree is gorgeous. Right up my alley💙🎄
i am finishing up my fall blub planting ! 650 when done!!!
i love the show in spring!! wish i had the heated greenhouse i would absolutely love flowers in January!!
hey are you doing winter sowing in milk jugs this year!?
I loove to see this project! It will be so interesting to see how it works! Question: 1 Are you going to keep the varieties that come back and bloom and do the same thing again? Or what is the plan ahead? 2 Why don’t you put some of the bulbs in the ground in other parts of the garden? The Delnashaugh for instance would look gorgeous almost anywhere with your other spring bloomers! I fell in love with it and managed to find One nursery here that had them. So I have dug them down in my garden and look so much forward to see them irl! Thank You for an amazing Chanel I have learned so much new things even though I have gardened for a long long time! Lots of love from Sweden 🇸🇪 and Florida 🇺🇸
