Bulbs are a gift that keeps on giving
As a young bride moving into my first house, I received one of the nicest presents –some bags of bulbs and bone meal. I wasn’t much of a gardener yet, and I may not have fully appreciated the gift at first. But it was a gift with a future.
My friend knew the delight I would feel when I spotted the bulbs poking through next spring. The gift also contributed to my growing passion for gardening, so in another sense the gift really had a future.
TheeasiestmiracleSometimes visitors exclaim about a garden, “It’s a wonder! She has a green thumb! Just amazing, like a miracle” – without realizing that perennial border took $800 to plant, 10 hours a week to tend and a lot of sweat equity.
A bulb is a miracle, however. All you have to do is choose them, put them into the soil pointy ends up, and you’re almost guaranteed some flowers in seven or eight months. It helps to prepare the soil –decent drainage, some bulb-boosting fertilizer and some compost. It also helps if you plant them deep enough (three to four times the height of the bulb). But basically bulbs perform even in horrid conditions. They’re the easiest kind of miracle.
