Quality Discount Flower Bulbs

Your source for quality discount flower bulbs including irises, tulips, lilies, amaryllis, narcissi, daffodils, dahlias and much, much more.

There is nothing more beautiful in the early spring than a grouping of colorful flowers grown from perennial flower bulbs. Some of the most common are tulips and daffodils but my personal favorites are lilies and irises. They are so exotic-looking but still easy to grow for the novice gardener. For a splash or color early in the spring, try crocuses. They pop through the ground often when there is still frost on the ground and brighten the garden with shades of purple, yellow or white. Flower bulbs are easy to grow, economical to buy and the bulbs last for years. In most areas, spring flowering bulbs may be planted in the fall or in the early spring. Many companies offer discounts and free items when several bulbs are purchased.

Here are some great Gardening Tips!

Keep newly planted shrubs and trees well watered. A common mistake is to water too lightly. The water needs to reach the roots of the plant. Dig down an inch or two to check to see how deeply you're watering.

To keep weeds down and preserve moisture, add mulch to your garden area.

Feed your annuals with a good fertilizer with 15-30-15.

Deadhead (remove dead blooms) your plants to promote new blooms.

Watering lawns in the morning is best. Again, water deeply. Surface watering can harm a lawn when it's hot.

Don't forget to use a fungicidal on roses.

If you need to dispose of a beehive, remember to do it in the evening when the bees are home. Never dispose of one yourself unless you're 100% sure that you're not allergic to bees.

Refresh the water in your birdbaths and pet water dishes regularly to cut down on the mosquito population.

If you own pets, check the labels of all your garden sprays and products such as slug killer, to make sure they are pet safe. Your garden center can help you with alternatives that are safe.

Be sure to wash your bird feeders regularly. This prevents the spread of diseases such as salmonella, to the bird population. Clean up around the base of the feeder and wash the plastic feeders in a 10% bleach solution. I simply wash them in my dishwasher periodically. The wood feeders are often more attractive but much harder to sterilize. So, be kind to the birds and feed them but also clean their feeder.

Garden Tool Tips!

Sharpen your lawn mower blade once a year. You can do this yourself with a grinder, or if you really prefer a workout, with a file. You can also take it into a shop, which is by far the easiest and safest solution.

If you have a gas lawn mower, change the oil at least once a year. Be sure to do this when the motor is cool.

Do lawn mower maintenance in the winter. Why? Well, if you break parts or find other parts that need replacing too, you can take your time while the lawn is not growing.

Sharpen your other tools too, such as shovels, hoe, hand spade etc. Plants can be damaged when pruned with dull blades.

Store tools away from water and away from young children.

Try painting the handles of your hand tools a bright color (not green or brown), so you can find them while you're gardening.

Paint or engrave your name or initials on all your tools to make them less attractive to thieves.

If you're left handed, carefully check a tool before purchasing. Some tools are made with the right-hander in mind.

Buy good quality tools. They come with a guarantee and should last a lifetime.
