After a long winter there is nothing more lovely than a spring garden with decorative garden decor (glass gazing balls are a great addition). You want the beautiful spring bloom so here is what you need to do.

First things first…in the fall, plant your bulbs along with some ground phlox. You
should also put some bulb fertilizer in each hole as you plant the bulbs-and pay attention to
how far down the vendor explained to plant. I recommend planting in groups, odd numbers are best,
scattered about so that that most of the other plants will hide their greenery as the garden bulbs start to
wither. If you go about loosey-goosey style putting them out to and fro, they tend to make a pretty
lawn appear amaturish.

In the spring after your daffodils and tulips have all bloomed it is important to not cut
away the greenery. Considered unattractive by prude people this cutting out can only hinder your new garden flower bulbs from
showing up the next year the way that you really want them too. Wait until it turns yellow and then it should pull out or cut off easily
enough. In fact if it does not pull out of the ground easily then it is not ready to be cut
out or cut away. These left over leaves are generating food for next year’s blooms. Simply
disregard them until they are wholely turned.

It is also a good idea to put down some bulb fertilizer in the fall and spring over the areas where you have them planted. This will help keep your bulbs happy from year to year. Deer and squirrels usually are not interested in daffodils, so this flower can be a safe bet
they are going to slowly multiply season after season.

If you haven’t already noticed also, tulips can be a hear-breaker!

You may notice that within a couple years the bulbs tend stop blooming. Plus, the squirrels like to steal the bulbs and even the deer eat them … they simply disappear.

Yes, grape hyacinth and also scilla are both know to be precious small purple flower bulbs, but they can spread to the
point of being hinderance to your garden…and, as you can probably guess, you will want to keep this in mind when introducing them. Be sure to have some recycled glass gazing balls and other decorative garden decor too!

Rule of thumb number one is to start the spring garden in the fall…just another reason why planning ahead is a big part of gardening.
