Often, we all get caught up in planning our gardens in the spring and summer. We forget that FALL is a season for planting as well!! Fall is the season for planting bulbs, and Granny Organic has a selection for planting picked out just for you!

| The new bulb display at Commonwealth Garden Shoppe |
Granny has bulbs from
VanBloem Gardens, picked out with ease of planting, and local growing in mind. Prices range from $5.99 to $9.99 for bags, and individual bulbs ranging from $0.50 to $1.10
What to Buy?
Granny recommends the
Tete-a-tete Narcissus, for it's Deer, Squirrel and Rabbit resistance, multiple blooms per stem, and for it's ability to naturalize in a garden. Naturalizing means that bulbs adapt to the area they are planted in a way that makes them need little to no help to keep growing and spreading from year to year.

| Hyacinth. One of the "UN Tulips" on hand at Commonwealth! |
Also in the selection, are the Beautiful Blends bulbs!! The "Un Tulips" of the bulb family. All the ease of bulbs, and new variety in your flowerbeds.

| the sunny Mote Carlo pictured above |
Another favorite is the
Tulip Monte Carlo. This tulip shares many of the hardy charictaristics of the Tete-a-tete. It is fragrant, and with it's double petals, reminds many of a Peony.
Tips for planting:
- Plant NOW through November for our planting Zone.

Wonderful job the blog looks great. Will be looking forward to more! One of the first times I planted bulbs they happened to get grown over by candytuft (iberis), the pink tulips came up thru the white candytuft, it looked amazing! Bulbs are great, plant them and forget them until spring, then wow.
