According to The Farmers Almanac it's time to plant spring flowering bulbs.  I see that the best days this month are the 19 and 20.  So get out those daffodil, tulip, lily, crocus and hyacinth bulbs.  

 

Since garlic is also a root crop, I'm going to plant my garlic on Saturday too.  We had such a great harvest this year, all I have to do is separate the cloves and plant them, leaving the paper on.  They don't take up much space, so you could even plant them in your flower beds.  Plant about 2 inches deep, and 5-6 inches apart, pointy end up.  We add a couple inches of mulch on top to protect the bulbs from freezing temps.  That's it!!!  They will start to grow the bulbs over the winter, then sprout green leaves in the spring.  And in July we'll have more garlic than we can use, again!!!

 

Love it!!!  

 

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
