Garden Blogger's Bloom Day: Tulips UP!

 It is Garden Blogger's Bloom Day again! On the 15th of each month, we gardeners with blogs share a few bloom photos from our gardens. Here is the Mid-Atlantic USA (USDA zone 7) on the DC-MD border, spring is finally - definitely - irrefutably here!

   My tulips are in their prime today so I ran around the garden and grabbed these quick snapshots to share with you all. Sorry I don't have time to dig through my old garden journals and bulb orders to identify all of them, but please enjoy them in their (mostly) nameless state as you'd encounter them in my garden.

It is Garden Blogger's Bloom Day again! On the 15th of each month, we gardeners with blogs share a few bloom photos from our gardens. Here is the Mid-Atlantic USA (USDA zone 7) on the DC-MD border, spring was sprung a few weeks early! We had two horrible back-to-back winters and then survived the 3+ feet of snow of this winter's blizzard, so we deserve it!

My Crocus are already done and the Snowdrops are ending too. The many varieties of Daffodils, Hyacinths, Primrose, Hellebore are blooming along with all the other minor bulbs I've planted over the years are jumping up. I've share pics of a few of them above. The Forsythia are started while the Heather and Winter Jasmine keep plugging away. Any day now, the flowering trees will also pop open -- they include Redbud, Flowering Plum, Weeping Cherry, and Tulip Magnolia.

Video Wednesday: Bulb Planting Basics

It is not too late to plant those bulbs! As long as the soil is not frozen, you can dig and get them in. Try to do so by Christmas so they have at least 12 weeks of chilly temps for blooming in the spring.

Here are some planting tips and basics for spring-blooming bulbs including daffodils, tulips, hyacinth, crocus, etc.
