Want Bulbs Blooming into June? Plant Alliums, Tulips and Daffodils

[@courtneycullen6289]

Ooh, girl we have similar tastes. I love the moody tulips (Queen of Night) and Geranium is in my top 5 daffs. It's straight out of fantasia.

I learn SO much from you every time I watch

[@HelloGarden]

This really means so much. Thank you for being here!

Your tulips and daffodils should look beautiful in spring! Love my Power Planter auger, it's very sturdy and made in the USA. Most of the time you had 2 hands on the drill except near the end of planting. A suggestion: I think it's important to use good technique since you are demonstrating the auger and drill. If a person is new to using an auger, reaching over and only using one hand on the drill, they could get hurt. Especially if one is drilling in clay or rocky soil.

Great point!

This is going to look so good in the spring!! I’m still waiting on my tulip bulb order. While I was originally annoyed that due to the wait I’ll be planting in the mud in rainy, wet PDX, now I’m happy I can use your pro-tips on bulb planting and arranging! Hah! The timing worked out in the end. Thank you for sharing your expertise! 🌷

[@HelloGarden]

Yay! And yes… I never mind bulb shipment delays especially with tulips.

[@gardentours]

It will look great in spring 🌼🌸🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌸🌼🌝👍

[@HelloGarden]

I hope so! I can’t wait to see the vision come to life!

[@KarenDole-i1f]

As always, great vid. I planted my tulips yesterday. I have the power planter auger and GAME changer. I don't need to bend over except when planting and covering the bulbs. Next is my giant alliums.

[@HelloGarden]

Man… I think it’s time to invest in a taller auger.

[@newt52864]

You were having to much fun with that drill 😜

[@HelloGarden]

It’s so fun to use. 🤣

[@DeborahScarff]

The Power Planter either, Laura or Jenny versions you can stand straight up. No back issues!

[@HelloGarden]

That auger is getting high praise from everyone!

[@wendycole703]

Your a beautiful person and you work hard. Can't wait for spring to see the results. ❤

[@HelloGarden]

Thank you so much, friend. 💕

[@soniewhitten4844]

enjoyed video, this garden is going to be amazing when they all begin to bloom. the alliums that you planted are hard to find. but, they are beautiful. thank you for sharing with us. hope you have a great week!!!

[@HelloGarden]

Well thank you so much for being here. And I agree… the alliums aren’t the easiest to find but they are so very beautiful.

[@BarbieJ-1957]

My first year of planting tulips & I’m not done. We had rainy weather that halted my progress. Maybe today!!🤞🏼

[@HelloGarden]

Oh it can be so hard here in the fall. It’s been so rainy!

[@debs-more-plants]

Kate- this is great! What grasses do you use? I need some small grasses!!! Please! ❤

[@HelloGarden]

What kind of sun exposure do you have and how big of a grass are you looking for? Happy to share my favs!

[@debs-more-plants]

@ I have full sun and would like some smaller grasses for texture. Building a new garden bed near the water in Des Moines- Sandy soil and maybe some salt… I’m not sure if that would affect grasses. Say 4 to 5 tall? 2to 3 wide? Thank you! Love your videos and style!

[@thecakepopsistars]

Would you recommend waiting after a couple days of rain to plant bulbs into the wet garden or should I wait for it to dry out some before planting my tulip bulbs?

[@HelloGarden]

I would, especially if your soil is heavy clay or holds a ton of moisture. Great question!

[@thecakepopsistars]

@ thank you for sharing your experience and tips with us! I hope I can finish planting before the ground is frozen. Last night was -3C z5/6🇨🇦

I've crossed tulips off my list. In the battle against tulip fire, bulb distributors treat them with fungicide. Handling bulbs and even being around planted tulips, increases our fungicide resistance. If we are exposed to particular fungi (some of which gardeners are at increased risk of, since they can be in compost), the resulting lung infection, Aspergillosis, is difficult or impossible to treat because our bodies have become resistant to the fungicides used to treat the illness. There are so many other bulbs, I choose those instead.

[@HelloGarden]

This is such a great, valid point! I’m super curious to research if there are certain vendors that do not treat them with fungicide.

[@MyFocusVaries]

@@HelloGarden a friend found a local grower in Chilliwack BC who doesn't, so they do exist. But most imports use them, apparently.
