Protection Lots of storage
A little work in the fall makes for
great spring blooms
Fall dusting
protects bulbs
Plants with tender bulbs or corms
such as tulip, daffodil, narcissus,
crocus, hyacinth, dahlia, ancfbegonia
are valuable additions in virtually
every home garden, especially as a
perennial border, cutting garden, or
as bedding plants. Fall is not only
bulb planting time, it’s also the time
to consider removing bulbs from
existing beds, if you choose to bring
them indoors over winter
This practice'should be considered
in areas where extreme cold or
sudden Chinooks could cause bulb
damage.
Whether you’re planting or
storing, there are some basic steps
you should take to help ensure
healthy plants next year. To begin
with, when planting, be sure to plant
at the proper depth and in an area
with appropriate sunlight and
drainage. Planting depths do vary, so
ask your local nursery for
instructions when buying your bulbs.
Also be sure to use a quality bulb
dust. This will help control root rots,
insects, and damping off - a soil
inhabiting fungus. Dust is usually
worked into the soil before planting,
but be sure to read and all follow
label application instructions
carefully.
When storing, be sure to dig up
bulbs carefully to avoid damage.
After drying and curing the bulbs
(once again, ask your nursery staff
for advice on specific times), shake
the dry, clean bulbs in a paper bag,
combined with a small amount of
bulb and soil dust - about one
tablespoon of dust for every kg. of
bulbs.
Remember, a little TLD (tender
loving dusting) now will assure
vibrant colour in your garden next
year.
A full height pantry on one corner proves ample accessible
storage space. The bottom right corner shows the drop to a
lower counter height.
