Bulbs: My tulips must have rotted, 1 by tabasco

Hi, rev--

I planted many tulips in containers this year and I fear, too, that many of the bulbs rotted because of wet and a late season frigid blast.

What tulip growth I have is very uneven in my pots and generally pretty disappointing.

Next year I may try more barky mulch in the potting mix to help drainage. And find a place to over winter them that has more what? Air circulation? protection from weather? sunlight? I am not sure what....

These pots were cram packed with tulip bulbs (I planted 300) and overplanted with lots of crocus, muscari and other little bulbs. Not much to show for it...

Oh, well, maybe something will pop up yet!

Good luck! t.
