Plant Now For Spring Flowering Bulbs
Many gardeners are still harvesting cucumbers and tomatoes or gearing up to plant some colorful mums. Now is also the time to think ahead about spring-flowering bulbs. It can be easier getting through the cold winter months when you know there will be bright, colorful flowers to let you know spring has finally arrived.
Mailboxes will soon be laden with catalogs from bulb suppliers, and garden center shelves will be full of spring bulbs to entice gardeners. Although we’re still dealing with summer-like temperatures, from now until about mid-November is the best time to start planting spring bulbs.
