Not Too Late for Bulbs

Do you still have a bag or two of bulbs sitting on your garage/basement floor like this?

Did you think you blew it again by not getting those bulbs in the ground and yet again you have to toss them all away?

Not so fast now.    Luckily I live in a place where the climate is mild enough, the dirt is still pliable enough where I can  still plant the bulbs right in the ground. If your garden is frozen and covered with ice and snow you are too late for flowers emerging from your soil in the spring.  But you can still plant those forgotten bulbs in pots.  Let me show you how .

First....

PLACE A LABEL (INCLUDE THE NAME & DATE), WATER AND WAIT...

IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS YOU WILL BE TREATED WITH A DELIGHTFUL SIGHT.

GIVE IT A TRY...I PROMISE YOU WON'T BE SORRY.
