Description:Caring For Your Garden - Tips For Home Gardeners: Example text from the book: I often notice when visiting gardens the great quantities of Daffodils and other early bulbs that we plant to herald in the spring. But how do we ensure we have a great display each year? The early flowering bulbs Quite a handful seasoned gardeners have had their first horticultural “experience” by the planting of a handful Daffodil or Tulip bulbs, thus spurring them onto more adventurous plantings. At the end of April the really early flowering bulbs will come to the end of their blooming season. This group of early bloomers incorporates Daffodils, Hyacinths, Bluebells, Crocus, Snowdrops and early Tulips. All these bulbs will flower well for any gardener the initial growing season but for them to bloom well the following seasons we must give them some care. Dieback not tieback All bulbs leaves must be allowed a minimum of six weeks after flowering to die down, so if these bulbs are planted in a lawn that area of lawn must remain uncut for six weeks. Refrain from tying your Daffodil leaves in knots to neaten their appearance, also avert folding them over and securing with rubber bands. If the bulbs leaves are naturally permitted to die back then they will take in the energy for next years flowering. I would also recommend nipping off the spent flower heads on bulbs once flowering is finished, this will prevent the bulb using vital energy for seed creation instead using all that energy to bulk up its food store for next season. Do not forget to feed The final tip for blooming bulbs next spring is to feed your bulbs, this is especially essential if you have a hungry soil. Apply a foliar feed to the fully emerged leaves before the blooms begin to form. Choose a general purpose purpose liquid feed.I would also advise you to feed your bulbs just as the blooms have faded with a granular bulb fertiliser applied round the bulbs base. This is the most essential feed they will receive. Ensure this feed has a higher potassium or potash content than nitrogen content. Apply in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and heed safety warnings...
