Here's an update on a thread started long ago!

It's a nice warm day, so I decided to take an afternoon to work in the garden, picking up limbs from a recent snowstorm and observing the early development of the garden. I saw the bulbs I was forcing for the urns on my patio peeking out of the mulch, so I decided to pull them up and put them in the urns.

I put potting soil between the plastic pot and the urn, and top them with ground pine bark mulch to hold moisture and give a finished look.

Recently, a friend gave me some bulbs that her brother (a landscaper) had left over from a job last fall. Since it's so late (she gave them to me March 8), it's a pure gamble to see if they will bloom. If they do bloom, they will surely be later than the bulbs I started last fall, so I may use them to replace these bulbs after they are spent.
