Fall and Winter in the Garden
- Order in mass for an eye-popping display.
- Add organic matter/compost to the soil for nutrients and drainage.
- Wear gloves when handling bulbs.
- Plant bulbs immediately when they arrive or store in a cool, dark, dry place.
- Place shorter-growing bulbs in the front of beds and borders.
- Try to have everything planted well before the ground freezes.
- Mulch the planting area to avoid heaving from winter thawing and freezing.
