[@richbishop7896]

Michelle good luck with your bulb forcing. Hope you show us when they are in bloom. Bonny

Inspiring! I've pledged to garden with you this year. Last year I was so busy, but 2024 is my year to garden with the Landscape Connection!

Awesome video, cant wait to see all of them especially the branches, im so excited. I think im going to force me a dogwood, fedbud, and a spice bush on it spells sooooooo delicious.

[@gardeningTLC]

Sounds great! I will be forcing some others too as we get closer to spring

Watch for an update at 6 pm Friday 1-26 It's my video short of the day

[@peggyriordan9857]

I love that you did this with hyacinths! They are one of my most favorite flowers. I will be putting this idea and directions into my gardening book for next year. Thanks so much! P.S. What happens if the bulbs sit near fruit? Thanks again.

[@gardeningTLC]

The ethylene released kills the flower inside the bulb. 😞😞

[@peggyriordan9857]

@@gardeningTLC Thank you for the reply. I had no idea that gas was coming from fruit!

[@caroleminnich8884]

Could you please tell me the name of the plant you were forcing with the tulips? It sounded like "fafadillus" but I couldn't find anything like that when I tried to Google it. Thanks!

[@gardeningTLC]

Sorry..Fothergilla

[@caroleminnich8884]

thank you

[@JaxBachtle]

Question - will you be transplanting these to your garden in the spring or fall this year?

[@gardeningTLC]

Probably not as I did them so early. But normally I would. They have already bloomed and the foliage died back...I was gone for a week, and lost them during that time.

[@JaxBachtle]

@@gardeningTLC Oh dang that's a bummer. If you were to transplant them, when do you think is the best time to do so? I'm a newbie at this, so I appreciate all the advice I can get!
