Learn how to plant fall bulbs.
Fall bulbs are so much fun. They are my favorite things to plant in the fall, even after a long hard season, because they bring me forward into next year. And harvesting and experiencing their beautiful blooms in the spring always makes me feel like everything is going to be OK. Since meeting my partner, Nelson, whose Dutch family has a bulb-importing business, I’ve learned even more about how these amazing beings are cultivated, bred, and how to care for them in our very un-Dutch climate.
