Plant flower bulbs in autumn
Autumn is the perfect time to plant spring-flowering bulbs like tulips, crocuses, hyacinths, daffodils, and snowdrops. We plant in the fall, while looking forward to next spring. It's like magic every spring when the beautiful creations come up from the ground. We may have even forgotten that we planted bulbs in the fall. Most fall bulb varieties bloom before many perennials and shrubs have started in the spring. By planting fall bulbs, your bed and garden will bloom early.
Planting and care
Don't let the onions dry out once you've bought them. Get them in the ground as soon as possible. The earlier in the fall you plant, the more time the onion has to grow and flourish. Plant all onions at a depth equivalent to two or three times the size of the onion. Small onions should not go further than 5 cm down. Feel free to plant onions of the same type in groups to get a beautiful display of flowers. Plan before planting the onion and think about flowering time and height. Feel free to fertilize with a little bone meal in the planting hole and water thoroughly when planting the onions. https://youtu.be/QXUqBLdmMQA
Soil, Flower bulbs thrive best in well-drained soil. If the soil becomes too wet, there is a risk of the bulb rotting.,,Pruning,After blooming, the bulb will start preparing for next year's blooming by storing nutrients in the bulb. It is therefore important not to remove stems and leaves, but let them wither down. The nutrients from the stems and leaves will go back to the bulb and gather nutrients for next year's blooming. Remove withered flowers as they "steal" a variety of nutrients from the bulb. When the leaves have withered, you can cut them off. The bulb is then in a resting period until the next season. If you do not want to have withered leaves visible in the flower bed, you can dig up the bulb and cover it with some soil in another place in the garden to retain moisture.,,Fertilizer,Give the bulb fertilizer such as bone meal or bulb fertilizer once during the spring.
Smart tips
Use a bulb planter and bulb dibber when planting. The bulb planter helps keep the bulb in the same place where you planted it. The bulb dibber will help you plant the bulb at the right depth and make it easier to reach tight spots in the flower bed. To prevent deer and other animals from eating your flowers, you can mix in varieties they don't like, such as daffodils and allium.
