Bulb Fooling
January 18, 2011
|
bulbs
Sometimes it IS nice to fool Mother Nature! If you dread looking out the window this time of year at the dreary, gray, soggy landscape, fooling (or forcing) some bulbs to bloom before their scheduled spring arrival could be just the antidote you need. A brightly blooming pot of tulips, daffodils, crocus, and others can go a long way in February and March to lift your spirits! It is a fairly simple process of mimicking nature's routine, but speeding it up a little. For instructions on how to plant and prepare your own, click here.
