Now we and the other speakers (“southern” bulb experts) recommend that you
plant your daffodils and other bulbs that you buy IMMEDIATELY or as soon as
we get fall rains in the Sept.>Oct. time frame! I tell people who dig and
replant small numbers of bulbs to dig them in May and IMMEDIATELY replant
them as bulbs ALWAYS do better on average in the ground than in the garage
in our summer heat!
Keith, you say to plant immediately, or as soon as we get fall rains.
Well, October is our official “drought” month here in Central Mississippi.
We’ve learned from hard experience not to plant before Halloween, or until the soil cools.
Between the rock and the hard place?
Some Southern gardener, maybe Martha Anderson, said “go on and plant, but don’t water.”
How would that work?
