Planting Daffodils, Tulips & Other Spring Flowering Bulbs | Gardening with Creekside

[@claytoncomeaux414]

Jerry, my responsibilities to my aging parents is so great, that I don't have the time to work in my garden. I Love and Appreciate You and Jenny sharing your garden with me so much. It's my joy watching things happening at Creekside Nursery. God Bless.

[@fraukeg.facchini2691]

Can't wait for your spring videos. You are a hardy southern girl to continue filming while it started "spitting", but we already knew that nothing stops Jenny (& Jerry, of course)!

[@kaylac3367]

This will be a beautiful show! Jenny as you were taking us around and showing us what and where you planted I realized just how much ya'll have done this year (maybe a little yr before too)! Look at all those beautiful flowerbeds! Not to mention what's going on put at production! Just have to say wow! Looks fantastic! Great job Jenny and Jerry!!!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thank you friend!

[@DCC-dm8pg]

My husband and I planted over 2000 bulbs (daffodils, tulips. Crocus, hyacinths,) in the fall - zone 7B.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

You're going to have a beautiful spring!

[@kathytaylor9798]

A friend of mine sells daffodil bulbs. He made me a surprise pack of approximately 250 bulbs. I have no idea what they’re going to look like except that there’s over 20 varieties! I will be excited for spring.❤

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

How special!!! I love how certain plants hold precious memories of friends & loved ones.

[@DivyaVerma-fx6wt]

Wow .....pls share how they turn out eventually.

[@terrivance8750]

Jenny, Brenna really made me smile during your bulb intro: Pops out from behind building, lifts head, "Where's Mom?" Pricks up ears, "There's Mom!!!" Weaving way around plants to get to mom, "Oh, look, a rock--I'll take it to Mom!" Walks past Mom, then back, "Don't want rock. Mom, watch me put the rock back almost exactly where I found it!" Sooooo cute! ❤😊

[@groundedgarden1461]

I planted tulips for the first time the same day. I was so worried I am too late in zone 8b but I pre-chilled them so I'm hoping that will help! Thanks for assuring me that it wasn't too late for my planting! I feel so much better now

[@DivyaVerma-fx6wt]

Cant wait for spring ....and the riot of colours .

[@mildredkrisik8888]

I thought the winter months were supposed to provide you with a little rest from your busy schedule. With all the projects you and Jerry are doing you both will be worn out by spring! You're such an enjoyable couple to follow. Can't wait to see all the spring beauty!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

I wish! It's a different season because there isn't the "pressure" of the retail portion of Creekside being open. It's a nice change of pace, but not any slower (except for Saturday mornings we can move slllooooowwww 😉)

[@rhondaschenk5727]

Can’t wait to see the beautiful flowers from the grand number of bulbs!

[@LetsGardenYall]

The veto & eating Crow got me chuckling 🤭 OVER HERE 🌷 love y’all ❤

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Keeping it real sister 😂

[@juliabinford6500]

You will get Spring a couple of months ahead of me, so I’ll get some early fun seeing how your bulbs do.

[@debbieewert]

It is going to be so beautiful come spring. Can't wait to see the results. My violas aren't looking to good either right now. And my beautiful miz America mustard completely died from the cold weather Christmas weekend. They were so gorgeous. 😥

[@angelaschettino1327]

Will look so pretty! Can’t wait till Spring! 🌷

[@lindakay8171]

If Laura can plant thousands of tulips then so can you!! Can't wait to see how they look in the Spring!!

[@shirleyc7175]

So glad you have a active channel now, and give us so much information. While I wait for snow to melt and the ground to thaw it gives me hope to watch you. THANK YOU. 👍

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Glad to help!

[@jenniferhooks2454]

I laughed as I watched you and Jerry plant bulbs. About 30 years ago, my husband helped me plant bulbs. We lived in cold northwest Ohio, and it was Sunday after Thanksgiving, a drizzly day like you had. He got cold and tired. Ho dug up a big slab of clay, threw my mini daffodils in, and plunked the slab back down on top of them. Guess which bulbs bloomed best? Yep! It was the mini daffodils. Funny memories, for sure.

[@BACKYARDBLOOMSWITHKIM]

So excited to see them bloom. Excited for mine as well. Hopefully all this rain will not hurt them in the ground. It poured today

[@janetknight8724]

Dear Jenny. it is going to look gorgeous so you won"t have to worry about eating crow. That tool you were using to plant the tulips works amazingly well. the soil you dig up can pop right back into the hole on top of the bulb. job done

[@katherinelara1801]

THANK YOU for the reminders on power planter settings. I live in Arizona, zone 9b, and have lots of compact clay soil too. It’s always good to remember how to use your power planter safely!

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Great job Jenny 🥰

[@judymooney2993]

I look forward to my Colorblends coming up this spring, but I put in only about 75 bulbs. Your puppy sure is living the best life. Looking forward to your grand spring show.

[@deedeeshelnutt4786]

I order from colorblends to! Planted 400 from them back in November.

[@matthewheeke4377]

I use a pro-plugger every year to add hundreds of tulips, alliums, daffodils, and crocuses. I live in Indiana and have clay soil too. If the soil gets stuck, just use a rubber mallet to bang on it.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Good to know!

[@VintagegardenandCakes]

Can’t wait to see these bulbs bloom! We just moved into our newly built house with new flower beds in Sept. I’ve been doing all the planting in the flower beds! We have some perennials & I planted 100 bulbs in the fall. All daffodils because that’s what will reliably come back for us in Oklahoma. Some have already popped up a little! 🥴 when I see green I just cover them up with mulch more… hopefully they will be ok & we will get a pretty show in the spring!

[@marilynbaldwin2934]

Going to be a beautiful display!

[@rmhowell100]

I love watching your channel and can’t wait to see what your doing next! I follow Laura at Garden Answer as well and loved seeing ya’ll in the Q&A video. 🤗 Since I live in zone 8B, my soil is clay as well so would you please suggest what I need to amend it so when I plant my 500 tulip bulbs they hopefully won’t rot? I’m super excited to get to see them bloom this spring🌷🌷🌷Blessings, Rosemary

[@RedRaspberryRow]

I ❤️ your vision and am hopeful that it comes to life! While I won't see it in person, I am anticipating the beautiful results of the spring bulbs!

[@monikiamoore2337]

I can’t wait to see them in the spring time 🌷

[@marilynruggeberg]

It's so hard to believe that you can still plant Spring bulbs this late. I have to have mine in by October, sometimes I can still plant in November. Depending on when my ground freezes. Can't wait to see the updates.

[@nancypatterson374]

I am so happy to see your Viola’s are looking like mine after the extreme cold we had. I am leaving then hoping they come back out. We here in Leesville,South Carolina have been getting so much rain and Thunderstorms and a Tornado watch this morning. As we say in the south, ‘a frog strangler’!😂😂❤

[@angie_texas7986]

It’s going to look amazing can’t wait to see your vision come to life. 🌷

[@marthaschermann5562]

OMG, Jenny you have turned into Laura with all these bulbs. Can't wait to see them emerge.

[@geaizee-JZ]

Absolutely gorgeous, I am now on the colorblends website dreaming. Thank you for getting wet for us!

[@tinachristensen1760]

What was that really cool evergreen on the berm by the yaz jonquils? It has an interesting shape.

[@linakhoury6623]

Hi Jenny 🌺well done they will be amazing when they bloom, very nice colors . Happy new year and have anice day. 🎄

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thank you! You too!

[@JJ-fm3hr]

love this!! thank you! ever plant Watsonia?

[@DCC-dm8pg]

I’m glad you asked about Wastonia. Never heard of it but it’s going on my list😍

[@joannford5860]

Ginny it is going to be Amazing to see all there colors when they bloom. When do they bloom in your area? Where I live the Daffodils blooming in April, and when they die we cut the boom stem off as the leaves is what feed the bulb for next year an we don't dig them from year to year.

[@conniemcquaid8795]

Very informative

[@deborahevans4126]

How do you come back later and plant a plant when you plant so many bulbs without digging some up?

[@32dras]

I'm sorry but from around 8min and after, didn't watch or listen to Jenny, was just watching Brenna, she had a blast 😂 She's beautiful 💙 On topic, I'm also switching to daffodils, our winters become so mild that tulips can't get their cold treatment naturally. Here in Europe we have exceptional warm spell, now for almost 2 weeks we have temps in high 50 low 60is, all spring bulbs are out, snowdrops almost blooming, buds even start swelling on hostas and peonies and it's just way too early. Looking forward to see all those bulbs in bloom!

[@gardengirl6854]

Happy new year !!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Happy new year!!

[@Daffodils2Daisies]

Where is your sweatshirt from?? I love it

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Jerry got it online for me from Kühl. We love their clothes!

[@TheEnthusiasticGardener]

Happy New Year Jenny 🎉🎉🎉

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Happy new year!

[@karenburns6802]

My cat is glued to the video today! She can’t keep up with your dog going in and out of the frame! 😂

[@asearcy07]

Hi! I’m in zone 7 (Nashville) . Would late January be a good time to plant refrigerated tulip bulbs? It’s the end of November, so I missed the fall planting window!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Yes that should be fine, or anytime in December. We have not planted ours

[@cherylspiel3864]

This will be beautiful this spring! Do you have critter pressure at all? Squirrels or deer? Just wonder if you do and what you do to help mitigate any damage. Thanks!! 🙂

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thankfully no. We have squirrels but they are much more interested in my bird feeders than my plants.

[@jstohlman]

Do I need to run drip to the bulbs?

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Generally speaking you shouldn't have to, but if you go an extended time without rain then it probably won't hurt.

[@wilmasgarden3098]

What a great video! Enjoyed learning more about the auger and cannot wait for your spring videos. Question, do you use the bulb tone or is it more specific to colder zones? I only planted a small section by hand and gave up after 25 and am hoping the rest that I put in containers come up. I am going to invest in an auger this year. Power Planter, of course.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

If I have it on hand then I use it. I didn’t have any this time so we just went for it and put them in the ground.

[@mollieteachworth764]

That's going to be stunning in the spring! How cold was it when you were working? It looked like your ponytail was freezing!🥶

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

It was probably in the 50s so it was just really misty & wet, but certainly not frozen. I'm not sure I am THAT dedicated😂

[@kristaself126]

So, did your Tea Olive Trees got get damaged from the cold weather at the end of December? My tree lost almost all of its leaves. Do you think it will survive?

[@tinachristensen1760]

How do you have room for that many bulbs when your beds are always so full of other things?

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

That’s the beautiful thing about bulbs. They tuck so nicely in between existing shrubs & perennials, and as their foliage is dying back the other plants come to life & hide that foliage.

[@lynlijalysbalderdottir4563]

Ms Jenny, why do you need to let the foliage die back after blooming finishes? If your zone is a 7b and you treat them as annuals (meaning you replant every year); why worry about the foliage? I’d just cut it back and let the bulb die.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

I only treat my tulips as annuals and I rip them out as soon as they are finished blooming. My jonquils are perennials for me so that is why I have to leave the foliage until it naturally dies back. This is how the bulb stores energy for next year's blooms.

[@sharonopdahl1961]

I like your idea with the tulip placement Jenny!! Sorry Jerry.

[@NorthCarolinian81]

Wait, so crocus is perennial in 7b? Also, which zone map do you use? USDA says I'm 8a but Proven Winners says 7b.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Yes the crocus tommasinianus are perennials to zone 8. I use the USDA, but there is hardly any difference between a 7b & 8a so I always lean towards the warmer zone since I am in the south.

[@fabioleonhardt]

E pois semana 🌷🤞

[@sophiazworldz]

I like Jerry’s idea better. Sorry, Jenny however, I think yours 3ill look nice as well💕🌺💐

[@Melinaa124]

I'm wondering if you ever have a problem with squirrels/voles destroying your bulbs. I had to give up on bulb planting in my gardens😒

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Praise the Lord I don’t!

[@Melinaa124]

@@GardeningwithCreekside What a blessing!!!

[@dorindajenkins7825]

🙋

[@kathy5216]

No Bulb Tone?

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Nope! I didn’t have any on hand and they be just fine 😊. If I have it then I use it, but I wasn’t going to hold off any longer on getting these babies in the ground so we went for it 😉
