Botanically, a bulb is a specialized plant organ that is a modification of a stem with scale-like leaves. In onions, the stem is disc-shaped, around which fleshy leaf scales are attached.
Flower bulbs are usually grown in borders and can be planted in groups in many places in the ground.In India, the time of planting the bulbs varies from place to place. For example, gladiolus bulbs can be planted almost all year round, but the best time for planting is June for him and October-November for him. You can easily get the flower bulbs online as per your choice and suitability with environment.
As a rule of thumb, bulbs should be planted two to three times as deep. The main and most important requirement for growing flower bulbs is thorough drainage. For better drainage, add coarse sand or leafy soil to the bottom. You can also add well-rotted cow dung and bonemeal to the soil. Newly planted bulbs should not come into contact with fresh manure.
Bulbs grown in pots or containers have their own unique appeal for indoor and outdoor decoration. The bulbs are planted in good, porous potting soil with the crown of the bulb just above the soil. Flower bulbs have three life histories: dormancy, growth, and flowering.

GARDENERS! What do I do about a flooded garden?I moved into this cute little farm house a few months ago, and held off planting any bulbs for the spring to see how badly it flooded during the winter. It's it bad so far, but it's flooded. Any recommendations?

Have you ever planted a tree?I used to have a job planting indigenous trees in Scotland. I recently planted an apple tree in my garden and I'm going to plant some more, space allowing. Trees help to keep our environment clean, so have you ever planted one or are you considering it?
