Bulb, Bulb-What's that Bulb?

bulbs

So, you would figure as a UCCE Master Gardener you'd be very organized, not necessarily true.  Take me for instance, I found a variety of bulbs that I had stored last fall to replant this spring.  Unfortunately, I didn't label them.  So, it should be interesting after their planted to see how the flower bed will look.

I found a great chart from http://tuffguardhose.com/2013/10/21/planting-spring-flowering-bulbs/ that shows the planting depths for various bulbs.  The chart is used to identify various bulbs.  I was able to identify the following bulbs:  gladiolus, tulips, ranunculus, tigridia, and lily. Some of these are spring flowering and some are summer.  I plan on planting them this week.

I found a great article from the UC Davis website, from a UCCE Master Gardener-Alameda, called  Plant Bulbs NOW for Spring (ucdavis.edu) that provides wonderful information on when, how, and where to plant various bulbs.  I couldn't state it any better. I attached the PDF for your review if the link doesn't work.
