Unbox and Plant a 4000-TULIP GARDEN - Ep. 283

Around 4-5 months ago we started to make garden beds in the 1/8-acre Meadow House lawn. Though we're only about halfway there, we made some substantial progress this year and finally got the majority of our 4,000 tulip bulbs in the one garden bed.

Decades ago living and working in West German, I found my all time favorite tulip bulb at a farmer’s market in Stuttgart. I have been propagating and sharing and planting this bulb ever since. Every other year I divide and replant in the fall as we get close to frozen ground. Golden Emperor. (not to confused with yellow emperors)

Tulips inside my fenced area. Deer, elk, and coyotes love tulips. Outside my fence I’ll plant daffodils which they will try once and leave as well as lilacs. Everything else they will gobble up.

I loved seeing this beautiful area on the garden tour! You and Sander are creating a slice of paradise. I can’t wait to see these beautiful tulips in bloom next year. I also look forward to some beautiful winter videos! They are such a joy and a break from my much too warm Florida winters.❤️

[@sharonknorr1106]

Glad I waited until today to watch this. Really needed this on this very sad day. Thank you.

Sorry for Yours loss

[@ruralangwin]

Sending care and hope.

[@ruralangwin]

I can't wait to see if they perennialize.

[@timgarner1957]

Chippy will absolutely love those delicious bulbs such a variety! Lol All joking aside, I can't wait to see em explode into color!

[@mikeymopar1171]

You need to get an auger for the all those bulbs so much easier

[@FoggyMooseBog]

I live in zone 3b, our winters go to -40°C regularly and for long stretches, I have never needed to dig up my tulips, they're VERY resilient.

[@KenKocur-xs4md]

Wow I have received 200 bulbs tulip and I have around 10 deer in the neighborhood. I guess I am crazy but I am still going to plant them. Good luck I am really excited to see what it looks like.

[@vlong7112]

Such a delightful sight 🥰 And so fun to hear the pronunciation lesson 😅

[@Andrea-re9np]

Beautifully done video. Some of those tulips were breathtaking 🌷 ♥

[@Fellowtellurian]

Tulipssss 🎉 just planted mine as well😊

[@tracienoda2718]

I can’t wait to see the mood boards come to life!

[@sheelaghomalley5459]

Wow Blue Spectacle is one for the wishlist ❤

[@charlesbale8376]

Wonderful plant tips and plant suggestions to add to my garden...I always enjoy spending time in your garden.

[@aalejardin]

Enjoyed the video. I had told myself I was done buying bulbs for the year but you inspired me to go to my favorite sites to see what they have left. I hope you can fix your deer fence before the tulips bloom. I usually plant my tulips with some daffodils to try to deter the critters. It has generally worked or maybe I have just been lucky. Species tulips have perennialized well for me, not so much the hybrids that are supposed to be more inclined to do so. However, it's worth the work to see the show in the spring. Which reminds me, I need to go out to see which of the bulbs planted yesterday have been dug up by inquisitive squirrels. I don't usually see much noshing, just rooting around.

WoW! Summer it’s going to look amazing 🌷🌷🌷

[@dutchviewer-u3c]

I always love your enthusiasm and knowledge, so inspiring! Although, coming from the Netherlands and knowing how much pesticides are used to produce bulbs (devestating for the environment (here in Holland) and also said to be damaging for the bees nerve system(?) ) I was wondering if you are planting eco friendly bulbs...? That would be great!

[@delarboles197]

Love that story from botany of desire about tulips. We are crazy about them 😅

[@Fabdanc]

Gardening at Douentza (Rachel) has a great video on the different tulip groups and the ones more likely to perennialize versus your annual tulips. I know that the Darwin Hybrids are more likely to perennialize along with the fosteriana -- obviously species tulips, as you mentioned. I have heard the viridiflora (the ones that have green streaks in their bloons) can be somewhat reliable since they have extra chlorophyll. I think the other big factor is... tulip bulbs can easily rot over the summer, especially if they get waterlogged or are in very moist soil without enough drainage -- or a hungry critter gets'em, lol. When I lived in Montana and eastern Washington, you could get tulips to perennialize quite easily because you had the moist spring but more arid summer, which is closer to the climate tulips originate from. It always seemed like the tulips that always perennialized for me were the dark purple.

[@SliceradioAu]

Sander must have been exhausted after all this filming! 😮

[@KokoraLife]

Wonderful seeing your process! 🌿

[@larahemilton]

Can't wait to see it blooming

[@pickles6425]

Beautiful bulb choices, lots of fun. Wheelbarrow party mix of many months is great. But oh girl, please model the better way to plant bulbs. More bulbs will be planted by more people. An inexpensive long-handled perennial shovel is lightyears better for planting bulbs than a trowel. Saves wrists from repeated use injuries. Your back and knees are spared. Saves hours. Stand up, use a small long-handled shovel.

[@WilliamVitale-n9s]

Summer, looking forward to see your front garden explode in the spring.

[@vlink4071]

What a beautiful vision you have for the garden! How did you prepare the beds with cardboard? I see the deer fence there, is it all around your property and are you concerned about deer getting into the area?

[@henningerflats]

Someone put 2D ideation plans into 3D visualiation ending up with silly shaped plant beds. Maybe something is missing. I would go ahead and cut a massive trench from the pond, canyon-like, with rocks, transitioning into a rill following the topography, clusters of tall grasses in bays, birch groves, benches to rest by the trail which runs alongside. Crossing once or twice over big slabs of rock. Ending up in a formal water feature with a willow tree. A trail.

[@kaiserPVD]

Deer love tulips. I gave up planting them

[@FireflyOnTheMoon]

Nice to watch a peaceful video on a crazy election day. I don't think cultivated tulips will perennialise well unless stated that they will, even if hardy. Tulips sellers will often now say on the page if the bulbs are good for perennialising. There are lots that are happy to return. Maybe next time, choose those, given all the work involved, the trucking and the plastic. It would be interesting also to plant in two sections - to 10cm is tulips in one area and the 20cm tulips in another area. I personally don't plant tiny with large. I would cover the pots with netting so critters don't take them.

[@allisongorham7389]

It’s going to be unbelievably beautiful! But I thought you have deer??? It’s candy to them, as you know! Get yourself an auger!!

[@ratnajena5683]

After the tulips blooms will the flower bed be bare till next year

As cool as you'd look with an eye patch you kept making me nervous fixing your hair with scissors in your hand.

[@Shane-mh3ud]

should have removed the soil from the area then thrown the bulbs in OR just cover the bulbs in a bunch more soil on top, this seems like the worst way to do this

Do you know why tulips are famous in netherland because they survived the starvation after the World War you can eat it try eat it
