These were on sale at Fred Meyer.
I planted the daffodils in the meditation garden. Who knows how close they are to other buried bulbs. Does it matter? About 20% of the daffodil bulbs were dried out and crunchy. I discarded those.
Tulips are deer and vole favorites. I planted them in a container that previously held garlic, then cucumber. Not sure if it is bottomless, but at least it's sheltered from deer. I mixed the soil with some container soil mix that I'm not certain is the best. Hope by mixing with native soil, any problems are resolved. I gave them some organic bulb fertilizer.
The plan fir next year, is in Maybor June I will plant therapeutic marigolds over the tulips. The marigolds can bloom and warm the soul, and the foliage and roots can be used for preventive nematocide treatment.
I planted about 1/4 of the crocus bulbs in the garden border. Probably plant another 1/4 in the border and the rest in the meditation garden.
Daffodils and crocuses seem to survive well here. Tulips need more TLC. They are worth it.
