Planting Tulips

We bought a $1 pot of tulip at Wal-Mart early this year, surprisingly it did blooms well, and  when we found out that Costco is selling a bag of tulip bulbs, we told ourselves why not try to grow some tulips start from the bulbs at our back garden. So, the experiment start....

Organic Compost for the bedding- got it from Lowes

Pre-bedding with compost mixtures..

Here is the quick snapshot of the bulbs... pretty large in size..

Final Step will be fill up the bed and water thoroughly after planting... Then we will wait for the beautiful blooms at Spring 2011... 

When To Plant Tulips: Tulips should be planted sometime between September and December (depending on which zone you live in, usually about one month before the heavy Fall frost is a good time).

Where To Plant Them: Plant tulips where they will receive at least six hours of sun, the bulbs need plenty of sun so they can store energy for next year’s blooms. Soil should be well draining to prevent bulb rot.
