Brighten Your Life!  Plant Some Bulbs

Do you find yourself ready for bed and it’s only 7:30 pm?  As the days get shorter and the nights longer, many of us slide into a more dormant state like a perennial plant disappearing for winter.  November is a prime season in many areas, however, to plant flower bulbs as a sign of beautiful days yet to come.

Amaryllis:  Now is a perfect time to pot up amaryllis bulbs in simple clay pots or big urns to bring life and color to your indoor spaces.  Growing Amaryllis is easy, here is a simple how to video.  

Spring Blooming Bulbs:  If you hurry before the ground freezes hard, you can still get some spring blooming bulbs planted in your outdoor garden.  Tulips, crocus, allium and my personal favorite daffodils come in all different colors and kick off the spring with a bang when they bloom.  To learn what varieties are available and what will work best in your garden check out Dig, Drop, Done.

Looking for a bulb source?  Check out Colorblends or your local garden center. 

For those who LOVE flowers and especially spring blooming bulbs, plan a trip now to Amsterdam in April or  early May.  The Keukenoff gardens are a must see on any gardeners’ bucket list. 

Do you enjoy gardening?  I do too.  I have weaved my love of gardening in my novel, I Know You’re There, now available in print and e-book format.  I hope you enjoy it!
