TULIPS IN THE SUN

-------CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE IT----
Well I figure that today was a good time to plant the Tulip bulbs in a pot .

My garden helper Odette was there to supervise and make sure that I did things to her satisfaction. That was OK with me because I figure she knows as much about Tulips as I do.

I got the Tulip bulbs for free early this year. I was in an office where the manager was throwing out a pot of Tulips

that had lost their bloom. I ask her if I could have them and she gave them to me. I stored the bulbs and stuck them in the refrigerator wrapped in paper on November 11th.

I read that Tulips need the cold to make them want to grow so the time in the refrigerator was the best that I could do here in South Florida.

Anyway today seemed as good as any to plant them. I put them in a recycled pot and filled it halfway with some organic soil mix with the bulbs pointing up.

After that I just poured the remaining soil mix over the top of the bulbs. Then poured some rainwater over the soil to wet it out.

The only thing left was to put a homemade plant marker into the pot

so I don't forget what and when I planted them.

I have no idea if these Tulip bulbs will even come up much less flower. But Christmas time is a time for miracles so who can say. Time will tell as always.

And my Christmas wish for all the nice folks who have stopped by my blog.

I wish you good health, safe travel, and the best holiday ever.
