I really appreciate this video! I will be moving back across country. Where we was stationed I made a flower bed and two flower boxes. I’m taking as much as I can with me, now that you have shown me how to move store and house my flower babies. Thank again. Happy future flowering you guys. i must say the pandemic has really made me a garden girl🤭🤗❤️

Great video, thanks for keeping it short and sweet. I'm storing canna lily bulbs for the first time, and you reassured me that I've done it right. Thank you :)

You're the best Ned! Thanks for keeping it brief and to the point. I usually do not winter my bulbs as they are all hardy perennials, but with the horrible-55F we just experienced in the Midwest I'll be shocked if anything comes up this year :'(

[@nicolelafayetteyoung4937]

Just watched this because it's time to pack up this year's bulbs. Thanks. Ned !

[@MarysUTubeVideos]

Thank you, I'm getting ready to wake them up after a year of sleep 😀 can't wait to see them bloom this Spring!

You know you've created a good video when people take the time to give you a thumbs down. lol (Some people are just unkind.) As my elders often said, "you can't please everyone, honey." I live by that- stress lessens. Thxs for all the tips & info-- quickly done, too.

[@nedsgarden7066]

Thanks N.O.L! It's a challenge to keep the videos brief. My goal is quickly share the key info so you can get back to gardening. Let me know if there's any particular tutorial you'd like to see!

Well done. I’m subscribing.

Hi, I’m a first timer storing perennials overwinter. Could I do this storage for winter process with all rhizomes, corms and bulbs based perennial plants? Is it mandatory to remove the greens once they have dried up from a bearded iris rhizome? or can I store them with the fanned shape cut back green foliage from leaves? thank you so much in advance. Can I use regular packing paper to wrap them and can I store my cardboard box in my basement all winter in Canada West where winters are crudely cold? or do I need to place the box in an un insulated unheated garage? Thank you in advance for your wise advice😃

[@poonambatra9215]

Thank you Ned Information is very informative and clear. I am going to dig in and store my bulbs in my Garage. Where do you get the hay from?

[@jdryak]

Well done video, but I wish someone would indicate beyond the mere STEPS to take, the proper CONDITIONS under which these 'bulbs' are to be stored and the theory behind storage conditions. Temperature? Humidity? Light? Constant environmental conditions? Location? When to bring out for new planting (species specific)? Vermin: mice, voles, rats, insects; fungi promoting conditions, etc.

[@paulbyronhelms8881]

JD let first frost be your guide to digging up your bulbs. Garage is best for storage, Cardboard is your container, shredded junk mail is your medium and moth balls are your protector. Store them till Easter and wake them up and plant. The rest is up to God.

[@lilijahanpour5703]

I have my narcissus in a pot and I’m taking them out today, but do i cut the roots off?

[@daisy_blue1235]

If ur bulbs are egg sized u can store them in egg tray

[@johnnyboy195516]

from alberta canada thank you so much the the information so helpful!!and you tube !!i love all the information you provide .. when i need to learn !! thank you you tube! from johnny

[@preciouslife7862]

This is Good 🤗

[@dannypalma7322]

Can you store the bulb inside the car trunk for the winter?

[@judithcooper1580]

good idea

[@poonambatra9215]

Ned While digging them I found some offshoots and smaller bulbs! What do I do with them ?

[@KnitGrit]

Will these last over a year stored this way?

[@hundredeyes5148]

if the roots are long should you cut them?

[@leeluv96]

I have that Gorilla cart!! I love it. I'll never buy another wheelbarrow. The only thing I don't like about the cart is the bolts on the inside. It make for a hard time shoveling all my materials out. I get around this buy lining my cart. ❤

[@nedsgarden7066]

Isn't it great! I think those big tires and the dump feature are so much fun. I agree about the bolts, though. How many times my shovel has snagged on them! Glad you DIY'd a solution. I'll have to try it.

[@leeluv96]

@@nedsgarden7066 OMG I love the dump feature. One tip, don't use your good tarps for lining. I go to BigLots or the dollar store and get the cheap ones. They usually last one to two seasons.

[@fawadaltaf1]

Brother I got lily bulbs asiatic and oriental from China. I'm in ontario not sure what to do. Put in garage or plant in pot and leave the pot in garage or just put all in refrigerator?

[@nedsgarden7066]

If they're not already in soil you don't need to plant them until it's spring. What's most important is that they remain dry to avoid rotting. I'd put them in a box with some crumpled, dry newspaper, tape the box shut, and put them in the garage (somewhere cool and dark) until it's planting time.

[@fawadaltaf1]

@@nedsgarden7066 Thanks I heard they need to be in ventilated box?. Temperature in the garage is now - 10 Celsius.

[@nedsgarden7066]

It shouldn't be completely sealed airtight but cardboard or a paper bag is fine. -10C may be a little cold. I recommend between 0-8C (refrigerator is fine in your case). Just make sure the bulbs aren't touching each other directly or else they may rot. This is why I use hay.

[@misskitty6586]

You don't have to pull up lilies.

[@amiraragab2692]

I already have some bulbs What i do now? Watering them till become more bigger because they r tiny around the basic ones Or let them dry then take them out now and keep them away? To the next spring

[@nedsgarden7066]

It depends what kind of bulbs they are. Generally speaking, if you haven't planted them yet, you can wait until the end of summer and then plant them for next spring :-) If they're already in the ground and they're hardy enough to make it through winter, then all you have to do is wait!

[@amiraragab2692]

Ned's Garden some in mud some r out but both having live roots the bulb called (üzüm sümbül ) in Türkiye its color is purple & having a shape of bells looks like grabs

[@nedsgarden7066]

Amira Ragab Sounds like a hyacinth. You may see some green leaves but it won't have flowers until next spring. You can leave it alone for now (it will dry out in the ground) and begin watering in March for spring blossoms next year :-)

[@amiraragab2692]

Ned's Garden thank you very much for your help ☺ I'm sorry for your time 😊

[@zemzem8323]

Not all bulbs need to be removed for the winter, it’s only the delicate bulbs which won’t survive the winter.

[@saturninedecember]

my brother is named ned! this is so cute i imagined him all grown up helping in the garden wahh ;_;
