The daffodills are on the eat side of my house--so they get morning sun.
the lillies are on the west side & so they get LOTS of hot afternoon sun--BUT they are protected some by the deck to the south and the hypernicum bush that is on the west side.
Maybe got all sterile plants..... all males or all females.
If people were like that, you an I would not be here.....
I had finally gotten around to replanting my bulbs a few weeks ago. Some of them looked like they may have rotted but I planted them anyway just to see. Couldn't hurt right? Then about a week after I planted them and put the compost over the garden area we got our first real freezing temps for the season. Guess I got them in just in time.
That page did....i really have the same problem with lots of mine. Just the daffys...... My tulips and lilys go bonkers.........Mostly in the sun. Your would think some of yours did bloom ir would .. Mine are just reruns from friends gardens.. But they arent really abundant.
no I am so sorry barb- -I was not actually saying you said that..
I was asking if you had read that (and it was nice of you too look it up for me, so thanks) and thought I would should read it. I am going with the thought that they are young bulbs--(they were small when I dug them up) and I guess I/we would benefit if we fed out bulbs. somewhere I have some bone meal--I guess this spring I will give that a try--- because I really do not want to dig themup just yey.
and it may just be the "clay soil" they are in--[perhpas I should try to address that in the spring as well.

Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!! .....
I start all my bulbs with bone meal......thats my flower religion. 6 more weeks till sping........Yipeee.
b
I dont want to say something I arent sure of ........daffys are not my best shot.
But I like the pink and white ones. I started a new tulip bed this fall.. Last years rotted away.. Water was running right thu the beds......But lots of folks said theirs rotted too? So who you gonna believe??????????????????
All my bulbs are a couple inches out of the ground and I looked up our last frost date it's on March 24th. I can plant some new seeds soon!!! Today was beautiful, sunny, not to cold, but I had to be at work. Supposed to start raining again tomorrow.
We can have frost all the way up until the end of April/beginning of May.
I can't believe that when you started this topic Barb it was 59 days ago! Right after Christmas it seemed SOOOOOOOOo far away.....now it's getting nice and close!
True Loz...... Everyone was feeling down that day.........So I thought it was a cheer up. Actually I am suprise it is so close.. Our last frost is May 31.......Your warmer there...........
This place helps cheer up folks for sure ............... Like they say, no matter how bad you think you have it, there is always some one else worse.....
I know that day it cheered me up! I was so happy to see this topic and think spring! :love:
And maybe or last frost is the end of may. I always get it confused. I'll have to ask my dad....I never pay attention and plant early every year.... Can never wait long enough then I'm running around with sheets covering things up.
Glad to help out. After christmas is a let down for everyone.. So much fun ..You go hog wild ......
However I shopped day after christmas sales for the first time, and found many nice buys for 2 sisters birthdays at the end of January, and some guests from texas was here and I found gifts for them.
We had an awesome Holiday.
Then I had HD birthday after christmas ......Haley dec 8.
It has been a wild whirl .......Now it is sunshine so pretty out and it snowed at first...21 º...........
It's 28 degrees here right now and windy as heck......We did have some snow first off this morning too, but it's really nice and sunny now. Just very cold with the temp combined with the winds.
