If you have been storing flowering bulbs this winter, it is now time to get them out and plant them. Some of the common flowering bulbs are tulips, daffodil and crocus just to name a few. These bulbs like the cool soil temperatures we have now.A few key points on the right way to plant a bulb. Plant with the pointed side up - this is the stem of the plant. You also should plant them at a depth that is 3X the diameter of the bulb. An example for a 1-inch bulb should be planted 3 inches down into the soil. If you haven't already done so, add some organic matter to the soil you are planting.
It is also time to plant the cool-season annual flowers such as pansies, petunias, sweet alyssum and snap dragons.
