Big Change in Video Site

Doug — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 22:13:41 +0000

For a variety of reasons, I will no longer be uploading videos to this site. Over the next few weeks, I’ll actually be taking the videos off this site and closing down this software. Let me suggest you sign up for my youtube video channel right here as I’ll continue to upload video and indeed have plans for a wide series in the new year.

Thanks for supporting this site.

If you don’t like the thought of joining Youtube, then you can also sign up for the same videos delivered via my Doug Greens Garden blog and site update channel right here.

Planting Bulbs

Doug — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 14:35:36 +0000

A quick note about planting bulbs that I’ve also posted on my bulb website. I sometimes get questions about how deep to plant bulbs and in fact, when I get a new tulip bulb (often directly from Amsterdam, Holland because I get the new introductions every year) I have the same question.

For the most part though – I don’t worry or even bother to look it up.

I go with the simple rule of thumb that you plant a bulb twice as deep as it is tall. So if the measurement of the bulb is 1-inch from the top to the bottom of the bulb, the top of the bulb will be planted so it is 2-inches below the surface of the garden.

But having said that – this isn’t rocket science so don’t worry if it’s slightly higher or slightly lower. Close counts when it comes to planting bulbs.

If you’re looking for tulip care tips, you’ll find those right here
