I am a bulb addict....

One of the things that makes me content is gardening. I love to plant, grow and enjoy a variety of plants. This is the one activity that helps me relax. I love sitting and enjoying my pretty flowers and the birds & butterflies they attact. My garden provides me with inspiration for writing and it grounds me and helps me find perspective on things.

Since moving to a cool climate about four years ago I have taken up a bulb addiction. Actually I love bulbs, tubers, corms and just about anything that can grow, blossom, die back over winter and return with little effort the next season.

There are several types of bulbs (tubers, corms etc) that need a period of "chilling" between their flowering seasons. These bulbs are great for colder climates! Others do require much chilling and some can even die if thy get too cold!

Now, since I am a bulb addict I buy anything that looks like it might be fun to grow, but of course I need to reasearch the specific needs of the plant and do my best to give it what it needs.

I decided to compile all my bulb related info and share it online if that would be of interest to anyone... Are you a bulb addict? Do you plant bulbs?
