My brother got me some tulip bulbs and some other bulbs for my birthday. I'm so execited. I've been wanting to start my flower garden since we started working on our house. The house is getting close to getting done on the outside. We are starting on the back portion soon and the siding.
I've never done any gardening. So help anyone??? Which way do I set my bulbs in to grow?? Petunia flower any ideas? Lisa

I do abit of gardening and I shall be planting tulips very soon. so this is how to plant them.
The rule is to plant tulips pointed end up and 6 inches deep, meaning 4 inches of soil above the top of the bulb. Plant a little deeper, to 8 inches, if soil is light or sandy, or if pests such as voles are a problem. Those 2 extra inches put them just out of reach of voles. Deep planting also keeps the bulbs cooler, an advantage in mild-winter areas. For an attractive flower display, plant five tulips per square foot, or 250 bulbs per 50 square feet. Space individual bulbs about 5 inches apart. Use a low-nitrogen granular fertilizer specially formulated for bulbs, and follow label directions about the amount to apply. I hope this can help you. Have a nice time planting them.

Happy Birthday
 I havent tried flowers other than scattering the seeds and letting nature take it from there in front of my appartment under my kitchen window. and every spring and summer those daffodils come up standing 2 -3 feet tall. LOL But yet last winter I tried my hands at growing house plants and killed them all from either too much care or too little care. Trying my hand at it again this winter and so far so good even though my cat thinks one of my spider plants is better for taking out of the pot and batting it around. Anyway there is a great website that has come in handy for me - http://www.thegardenhelper.com/ |

Happy birthday!
I've got tulips to plant this year, too. If squirrels, chipmunks, or other critters are a problem in your yard, you might sprinkle a little ground red pepper on the bulbs before you cover them with soil. I've also heard planting daffodils in the same hole or close by surrounding the tulips can help keep the hungry critters away. Other advice you got was spot on. Good luck! gg

Thank You all for the help. The one thing I just love about T's office is the flower garden there. Flowers are so pretty and comforting I want that at home.
