Spring Bulbs have arrived!

To enjoy beautiful spring colour, you must act this fall. Flower bulbs such as tulips and daffodils, hyacinths and snowdrops, must be planted between now and the first hard frost. Be sure to plant them at the recommended depth and approximately 4-6" apart. Planting in uneven numbers such as 3,5 or 7 makes a nice grouping. You can also plant them in containers with the bulbs closer together. Make sure the pot has drainage holes. Try some aromatic hyacinths planted outside your bedroom window. In the spring, when it's warm enough to fling open your windows, the heady scent with waft through into the house!
