I read in the Carolina Country newsletter that now is the perfect time to plan your spring garden, and buy your spring flowering bulbs.  You can get them in garden centers, and catalogs that specialize in bulbs.  My favorite is http://www.brentandbeckysbulbs.com  and Jim and Roxanne shop at  http://www.brecks.com  You can't go wrong copying Jim and Roxanne.  They have the best garden around.

 

We are talking about crocus, daffodils, hyacinths, iris, lilies, tulips;  and don't forget onions and garlic.  They all get planted in the late fall.  You can get onion sets and garlic bulbs at the garden center too, or from http://www.sowtrueseed.com  You get better selection from catalogs, even if you don't always get better prices.  Depends on your preferences.  

 

The selection is best at the beginning of fall.  But it is TOO EARLY to plant them now. The soil needs to be cooler to keep the bulbs from starting to sprout.  Late October into November is the best time for planting in our area.  

 

So BUY your bulbs now, and keep them cool and dry until you plant them in October into November.

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
