| Germinating Daffodils 1.17.15 |
So bought these lily bulbs, and planted today.
The daffodils start coming up now. They don't mind frosts or hard freezes or ice or snow. Still a long way to bloom. Nice to see something already growing. These are replants from a big clump of Jetfire I divided last summer. Then left them sitting out and some were moldy. Seem to be growing fine anyway.
You must have a lot of rain, your ground looks soggy. Lucky your daffodils don't mind. My gingko seeds are sprouting out today. Only those I put in the fridge for months have sprouted. I guess those not been treated with cold doesn't germinate because I started them at the sametimes. I have some tigers but they were started out from pretty small bulbs so the plant is very small and weak. I have star gazers, and casa blanca which is the biggest and showier then the others.
ReplyDeleteMore than an nch of rain yesterday! I dont like planting in the rain, concerned sbout soil compaction, but wanted to get it into the ground as soon as possible.
ReplyDeleteI dont know if ginkgo requires stratification. I always plamt in the garden in fall. Not last year - I have too many ginkgo trees now. Good luck with yours!
Casa Blancas are great! especially at night, brilliant whitesnd fragrant.
