Fall Planted Bulbs for Spring Color

Posted in Homestead Garden and Farm

Fall is a great time to plan and plant ahead for some springtime beauty.  Bulbs planted in the fall will grace your yard and garden with a lovely burst of color. 

Yes, I'm here a day early again; but for a great reason ... My family is moving this weekend!  Praise the LORD!  I know tomorrow morning will find me hustling about trying to get things packed and out the door, and just to keep me on track my husband just may pack up my computer first thing  ... He tries to be sneaky about things like that, but I know his game by now.  He knows mine, too ...which is why he'll feel the need to limit distractions in order to keep me on task

At any rate, I'll be offline for a bit, and wanted to share the following link to some gorgeous bulbs to plant in the fall from White Flower Farm before I get "disconnected" .  I want to plant some bulbs at our new home in the coming days, and found a nice  variety on the White Flower Farm website.    I'm partial to the little bloomers like crocus and muscari; but there are many other things I'd like to try, too.  Check out the beautiful bulbs for fall planting at White Flower Farm

Don't forget about forcing bulbs indoors for some holiday and winter enjoyment.  A few bulbs can brighten up a windowsill or table with a burst of color or fragrance even if the weather outside is frightful!

If you plant bulbs in the fall or have experience with indoor bulb growing, please share your tips and tricks with us ... photos, too.

Hope you have a wonderful autumn weekend!

Blessings,

Catherine

I am still waiting fo the garlic I ordered. They said they would send it when the planting time was correct in my area. hmm The garlic is already coming up that I left in the ground last year and has been for a couple of weeks. I can't wait to try the new kinds. You inspired me a couple of weeks ago! :) I will miss you!
