As a little girl, I used to help my mom divide and replant bulbs each Fall. It was so fun, and come Spring our garden was colorful and fresh with new growth.  Over the weekend, I purchased a bunch of  bulbs to start the tradition all over again… I am so excited to get outside in the dirt later today (after the sun warms things up ’round here) and plant some beauty.

I purchased a variety of bulbs including daffodils and tulips, red, purple yellow, and white.  Not only will these bulbs be a wonderful addition to our garden, they will also offer the chance for fresh cut flowers in the Spring.

These are the companies I have purchased my bulbs from; there are lots out there, check the local feed store or garden store or you can order them online:

• Van Bourgondien Dutch Bulbs and Perennials Since 1893 
• Netherland Bulb Company Wholesale suppliers for garden centers

To plant bulbs:

1. Dig a shallow hole or trench (5″ for daffodils; 2.5″ for tulips; generally bigger bulbs plant deeper than smaller bulbs).
2. Set bulb(s) in the hole, pointy side up.
3. Cover with soil and mulch, then water thoroughly.

Soon the crocus’ will be bursting through the snow showing us that Spring is on the way!
