Potted bulb gardens
This year I’m trialing some potted bulb gardens and here’s what’s in them:
* Bottom layer: tulip bulbs 🌷
* Middle layer: hyacinth bulbs 🪻
* Top layer: crocus bulbs 🌼
Come spring these pots should provide weeks of blooms with the crocus blooming first, followed by the hyacinths and tulips giving the finale 🤗
These trial pots just give me one more spring thing to look forward to 😃 Have you ever tried layering bulbs in pots?

Peony plants
Got the peony rows cut down this weekend and foliage burned 🔥 I’ve been waiting for the burn ban to be lifted so I could burn the foliage. It is recommended that peony foliage is burned or put in the garbage and not put in a compost pile as they can harbor fungus which you don’t want to spread throughout your garden. So if you haven’t already, here’s your reminder to cut down those peony plants 🌿

Tulip planting
Yesterday was tulip planting day 🌷 My awesome husband got my boxes setup, lined on the bottom with hardware cloth and placed 2-3 inches of compost on top of the hardware cloth.
As a flower farmer, I treat tulips as an annual so I plant them super close, like eggs in a carton. This allows me to get a lot in a small space. These two boxes have 1,100 bulbs in them 🙀 I still have 700 bulbs to plant which will probably end up in crates.
Getting these in the ground has me excited for spring already 🌷
