We learned some theory behind bulbs themselves and how to grow them. We planted Allium, Hyacinths and Tulipa bulbs in our garden. But before all of that happened we had to dead-head the old plants in the bed. We also had the difficult task of removing all of the stems and bulbs of the Japanese Flowers that occupied the bed beforehand.
Working on the Japanese Flowers:
Before removing the bulbs we dead-headed the flowers in the bed. We had to remove the top soil around the flowers and pull out the stems one by one.
To remove the bulbs we had to dig fully around the bulb and get it all from the bottom. This was a very difficult task as the bulbs were quite deep in the ground and were very big. They have ver strong roots so this made it harder for us to remove it fully.
When all of the old bulbs were
removed we re-tossed the topsoil to mix the nutrients. We had to get the bed ready for new bulbs to be planted there next week.
Planting the bulbs:
When we finished on removing the Japanese Flowers we began to plant other, new bulbs in another part of the garden. We planted Allium, Hyacinths and Tulipa bulbs, along with de-weeding around the area we were planting.
Hyacinths Bulbs.
Allium Bulbs.
Tulipa Bulbs.
