How To Approach Flowers In The Fall
After a long winter there is nothing more lovely than a spring garden with decorative garden decor (glass gazing balls are a great addition). If you want to get a spring garden properly started you will have to do a few things first.
The first thing you need to do is plant your bulbs and some ground phlox in the fall. You
should also put some flower bulb fertilizers in the hole as you plant the bulbs-and watch to
how far down the store said to plant. It is also a good idea to plant the bulbs in groups of 5 or 10
interspersed in such a way that other plants will hide their foliage as the bulbs start to
wither. If you go about willy-nilly style spreading them out here and there, they tend to make a pretty
home garden look like it doesen’t belong.
In the spring after your daffodils and tulips have all bloomed it is important to not cut
down the greens. Considered unattractive by uneducated people this cutting away will only hinder the 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. Truthfully, if you cannot remove it from the ground then it is pointless to try and cut
away or removed. These left over leaves are generating food for next years blooms. All you have to do is
disregard them until they have totally 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 bulb can be a good standard
they are going to slowly spread year to year.
If you haven’t already noticed also, tulips can be a let-down!
You will find that in a couple seasons your bulbs tend stop blooming. Plus, the varmits will steal them or the deer eat them … they simply disappear.
Yes, grape hyacinth and also scilla are both thought to be precious little purple flower bulbs, but they can spread to the
point of being hinderance to the lawn…and, as you can probably guess, you’ll want to keep this in thought if introducing them. Be sure to have some recycled glass gazing balls and other decorative garden decor too!
The most important thing to remember for a spring garden is you have to get it started in the fall…just another reason why planning ahead is a big part of gardening.
