Landscaping with Spring Flowering Bulbs
|

This past weekend was the biggest gardening weekend for me in quite a while. Finally, my cold subsided and the weather turned agreeable enough to plant the rest of my bulbs. I planted at least 100 tulips and more than 100 crocus bulbs! I’m sure excavating a large area and planting them all at once would have saved time, but I took the slow route, scooting around while perched on my sons’ bathroom stool.
The gardeners at the Tulips on Troost project in Kansas City took advantage of the good planting weather too, planting hundreds of tulips in an urban area that has experienced blight in the past. My friend Jeroen Koeman at EcoTulips contributed to the success, donating 500 Lilystar tulips to the project.
Whether your bulb project is a bag of mixed daffodils or a community beautification project, the springtime rewards will be worth a sore wrist for one day!
