Rosen Instructor - Ornamental Horticulture McHenry County College Mother Nature has done it to me again. I sure feel silly. For the past three weeks, I have been writing, with a certain sense of urgency, about all the outdoor gardening tasks that must be accomplished before the inevitable drop in tem­ peratures occurs. Yet almost every day, and every night has been characteristic of balmy spring or even summer-like weather. Amazing! Truly amazing! Remember how cold and wet last September was? Mother Nature certainly can be exasperating at times. (Having mentioned how delightfully warm and sunny our weather has been, I will lay £-5 that as you are reading this column the mercury is sitting in the mid forties, or perhaps even in the high thirties.) Gardeners of McHenry County please do not be deceived by the delicious In­ dian Summer we have been experiencing. Rest assured direction of Pam Ryden. The entire congregation will par­ ticipate in a rededication ceremony rededicating the facilities as well as the in­ dividual lives of the members to the service of the Lord. that somewhere in the woods nearby Mother Nature is sneering at you. Hoping to lull you all into a false sense of security before she wallops you with an icy blast of Arctic air, or a slick glistening, freezing rain. Today all your annuals may yet be blooming freely, and tomatoes may still be hanging from their vines. Beware! Tomorrow you may awake to find that a killer frost had snuck quietly into and out of your gardens, while you were all deep in silent slumber, exterminating, to the last leaf and flower, every herbaceous plant. Thus, although it may seem like spring now, let me remind you that, unfortunately, winter is just around the corner. At this time, all of you should be seriously contemplating methods of introducing flower color into your gardens as early as possible next spring. Your answer lies in planting bulbs this fall. Personally, I feel that there ary*Tew sites more beautiful, Jjeart-warming, and gratifying than being able to look out a window in early March, and see the delicate white blossoms of the snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis), or the petite yellow-flowered winter aconite (Eranthis hyemalis) cheerfully decorating an otherwise bleak landscape. Assuming that the tem­ peratures have settled into the low fifties, the best time to plant bulbs is now, before the ground freezes. Recognizing that the variety of bulbs displayed at garden centers at this time is seemingly endless, and that the space each of us has to devote to these spring beauties is limited, the most salient question becomes: "which species should I pur­ chase?" A couple of words about planting techniques. In general, the culture of bulbs is an easy affair. Meet their meager requirements, and many species will reward you with ever increasing numbers of blossoms year after year. Drainage is the key factor to success. Bulbs simply will not survive in wet soils for longer than one year. On poorly drained sites, the fleshy bulb is rapidly attacked by a number of decay causing fungi, and rapidly becomes little more than a soggy, spongy mass of dead tissue. Bulbs should not be planted at a depth equal to more than twice their length. Thus, tulips, for example, are best set 6"-7" deep, while the smaller bulbs of Muscari botryoides are placed no deeper than 3"-4". Why the magic formula? The answer lies in the amount of stored food contained within each bulb. When they are planted too deep, the bulbs are forced to use an extra quantity, or, at the extreme, all their stored food in order to push up, and break through the soil. Remember, a plant cannot engage in p h o t o s y n t h e s i s ( f o o d production) in the dark. Having spent its reserves, the plant that finally finds the light of day is weak and spindly, and may, in fact, not have enough umph left to push forth a flower. In the bottom of each hole, mix in a teaspoon of super­ phosphate or bone meal. The phosphorus contained in these materials will ensure good root development. Set the bulb so the basal plate is in contact with the soil. Bulbs planted upside down frequently fail to come up. Many bulbs tend to naturalize, increase in num­ bers over the years. For maximum effectiveness, these species (e.g. Narcissus, Galanthus, Eranthis, Muscari, Scilla, Anemone, and Crocus) should be planted randomly. In order to avoid obvious patterns, simply pick up three or four bulbs and drop them at your feet. Plant them where they fall. Tulips and Dutch hyacinths, on the other hand, stand out only when planted in formal- type beds. Avoid the baker's dozen. Plant at least six bulbs of each variety. Should you have a question on the material covered, or just a horticultural point of in­ formation you would like verified, why not drop me a line?
