FLOWER BULBS 101
Bulbs are a natural product. And, as such, follow a natural cycle of growth and rebirth. Enjoying their fabulous flowers means planting ahead; simply “dig, drop, done” in one season then “delight” in the next. Bulbs are among the easiest flowers to grow and also the most stunningly colorful to enjoy. Even the most novice gardener can create a breathtakingly beautiful spring, summer and fall garden with bulbs.
What’s a Bulb?
A flower bulb is really a self-contained flower factory. Within this marvelous little package is nearly everything the flower needs to come to life! Split a tulip open, for instance, and you’ll see its baby flower bud, leaves, roots, stem and food supply. All bulbs need from you is to be placed in the ground at the appropriate season of the year, given a liberal drink of water then left to work their magic.
Variety
Flower bulbs come in a seemingly limitless variety which makes them perfectly suitable for any garden design you can dream up. Planting just a few can easily provide beautiful color in your garden for several months. Daffodils are the first sign of spring and dahlias will bloom until frost hits the pumpkins. The three most important factors to keep in mind are color, of course, but also plant height and flowering period.
WHEN TO PLANT
In general, there are two seasons for bulb planting:
Fall
After soil temperatures are below 50ºF/10ºC. These
bulbs bloom the following spring and require the cold winter temperatures for development. But let’s say winter arrives and your bulbs are still in their bag. Not to worry! Bulbs are pre-programmed to grow so even if you have to plant through snow, plant your bulbs! Popular fall bulbs are tulips, daffodils, hyacinth, crocus and alium that bloom in the Spring.
Spring
After the danger of frost has passed (tender bulbs love soil that is at least 60ºF/15ºC). These bulbs bloom in summer/fall. Popular spring bulbs are dahlias, alocasia, canna, gladiolus, and ranunculus.
HOW TO PLANT
Most bulbs thrive in either full or partial sun and in almost any location with good drainage. Avoid planting at the base of hills or under drainpipes where water collects and will rot the bulbs.
Good soil preparation is the very first step. Make sure it is loose and porous to make the planting easier (and because good drainage is necessary for all types of bulbs). Adding peat moss to the soil is a good trick to improve drainage. The planting depth of bulbs depends on their size: a good rule of thumb is that the depth should be 3x the diameter of the bulb. However, planting depths vary by variety. For more specific planting depths, check the label on your bulb package. The spacing of the bulbs depends largely on the effect you are trying to achieve. For best results plant in clumps of large groups rather than in single

After loosening the soil gently press the bulbs (with pointed ends up) in the bed, cover them with the removed soil and tap it down slightly.
Water thoroughly.
ADDITIONAL TIPS
Additional Tips for First Time Bulb Planters:
A larger grouping of flower bulbs are far more fab than just a few planted here and there. For smaller groupings, try container plantings using pots, baskets or window boxes. Freezing temperatures can crack terra cotta pots and ornamental planters. By first planting bulbs in plastic pots then placing the plastic pot inside the earthen one, you’ll create a natural insulation between the two.
Lay out your bulbs on top of the soil where you want to plant them. After, poke a twig into the soil to mark where you’ve already planted
Plant markers can be pretty and practical ways to mark sections of similar bulbs. Buy wood, galvanized steel or terra cotta markers or make your own!
For a natural look throw out handfuls of bulbs and plant them where they fall.
Plant low-growing bulb varieties up front and taller ones at the back of your beds.
Note the flowering times. Not all tulips, for instance, will bloom at the same time. A little planning will greatly increase the number of months you will enjoy bulb flowers.
When your leaves drop in fall, rake a layer of them over newly-planted bulbs. They’ll love the extra bedding!

CUCUMBER
RADDISH, SUGAR
PEA SALAD
INGREDIENTS:
• 3 English Cucumbers
• 4 radishes
• 2 cups (300 g) Sugar Snap Peas
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• ¼ cup (60 ml) light sour cream
• 1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh dill, minced
• Edible Flower garnish
METHOD:
Slice cucumbers and radishes into thin disks using a sharp knife or mandolin. Keep the skins on for a pretty presentation. Place in a large bowl. Add snap peas. Add sour cream, dill, salt and pepper. Gently toss to coat. Transfer salad to a serving bowl, garnish with an edible flower such as a nasturtium, pansy or marigold (found in the produce section of better supermarkets)
CHARRED ASPARGUS WITH THYME SHALLOT VINAIGRETTE
INGREDIENTS
• 2 bunches of thin asparagus
• drizzle of olive oil
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• 1 ½ tsp (7.5 ml) Dijon Mustard
• 1 ½ tsp (7.5 ml) white balsamic vinaigrette
• 3-4 tbsp (45ml-60ml) grapeseed oil
• ½ tsp (2.5 ml) fresh thyme minced
• 1 tbsp (15 ml) shallot, minced
• ½ tsp (2.5 ml) fresh lemon zest for garnish
METHOD:
Trim asparagus ends to remove the tough fiber. It’s ideal at this point to trim to the size of your cast-iron pan so they lay flat. Heat a cast-iron pan on high heat. Drizzle olive oil in pan. Add asparagus and allow to cook, in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches) until asparagus begins to char and turn golden brown. Do not overcook. Just cook long enough to char and then remove asparagus and transfer to a plate to cool. In a small bowl whisk together the mustard and vinegar. Slowly add the grapeseed oil until emulsified and smooth. Add thyme and shallot, stir to combine. Place asparagus on a long, rectangular plate. Drizzle dressing over spears, garnish with fresh lemon zest.
DRIED FRUIT AND NUT COUCOUS WITH FRESH MINT
INGREDIENTS:
• 1 ½ cup (350 ml) of water
• 2 tbsp (30 g) butter
• ½ tsp (2.5 ml) salt
• 1 ½ cups (270 g) Couscous
• ½ cup (75 g) raw sliced almonds
• ½ cup (75 g) raw pistachios, shelled
• 1/3 cup (50 g) dried cherries
• 1/3 cup (50 g) golden raisins
• 1-15 oz (450g) can garbanzo beans, drained rinsed
• ½ cup (120 ml) fresh mint, chopped
METHOD:
In a large sauce pot bring water, butter and salt to a boil. Then add couscous. Turn off heat and cover for 5 mins. Fluff couscous with a fork and transfer to a large mixing bowl to cool. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350F (176C). Place almonds on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake almonds for 6-8 minutes until roasted and golden brown. Set aside to cool. To the cooled couscous add roasted almonds, raw pistachios, dried cherries, golden raisins, and garbanzo beans. Toss to combine. Keep refrigerated just until ready to serve. Moments before serving, add fresh mint, toss to combine. Serve in a shallow bowl so couscous is piled high like a pyramid. Garnish with a sprig of mint.

TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 20)
A new 14 year cycle that most Taurean’s have not experienced before will occur in your sign late in the week. This can bring to the surface a strong desire to break out of old ways of doing things or it may be that you have to embrace new ways, whether you like it or not. This has been taking shape since mid 2023 but reaches its peak now. It can stimulate you to become rather inventive in your own way.
LEO (July 23-August 22)
You could begin to realise unique ways of handling your obligations which could actually allow you to be able to manage a lot more. This could be due to noticing the way somebody else does things. You need to be considered when it comes to any future plans right now as you could commit yourself too quickly. Be aware.
SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov21)
Something very out of the ordinary can enter your life through another person or other people in some way. While the opportunity for some sort of excitement can be very tempting, you need to stop and analyse how this can affect normal routines you already have set up in your life. What seems fun could have obligations attached.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Some sort of commitment that could seem an exciting challenge could have many more hidden aspects to it than you can imagine. They will not be easily avoided or let go of in the future either. You can have a sense that something exciting is about to emerge but it is more a wait and see situation than taking things on right now.
VIRGO (August 23-Sept.22)
The future could begin to open up in ways you had never expected. This could certainly be encouraged by other people though that doesn’t mean you should not analyse what is best for you. You could be presented with ideas you have never before considered. You need to work out how you would be able to handle them.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
A new 14 year cycle is encouraging you to establish very different foundations at the basis of your life. That can include home and family matters but not necessarily just that. It can be something within your own self that you have come to realise. This adds another dimension to the major changes Pluto settling in your sign for 20 years by the end of the year will generate.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.22-Dec.21)
You could be more determined than ever to launch yourself into a whole new approach when it comes to your health and/or fitness. This might be something you have been toying with since mid 2023. There needs to be a level of enjoyment or it cannot be something that limits your pleasures entirely for you to stick with it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
A totally different way of looking at things of which you may have felt you had little choice since mid 2023 could now result in a greater sense of self confidence than you have had in a long time or have ever had. You must not be tempted to do anything impulsive when it comes to finances. There are practical ways around matters.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
You could find yourself considering something more adventurous in the future than what you would have thought would ever be the case. In part, this can be because you are more willing to take on added responsibility but can see it as worthwhile if it provides you with the opportunity to be more inventive with priorities in your life.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.22)
You might need to accept that what somebody else sees as an important change does not necessarily fit in with what you consider is the way to handle things in life on a daily basis. This could bring to the surface things about somebody else that you never really knew existed. You must not allow yourself to become drained as a result.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19)
Many more opportunities for pleasure will be part of life and this will be something that continues for a long period of time. There could be connections to children or young people in some way but for some it might bring some unexpected romance. The main thing is not to make any quick decisions right now. Let things unfold.
ARIES (March 21-April 20)
It would be wise to take your time with decisions that apply to you personally or anything you are involved in. This may not be the way you would like to handle things but some patience at the moment could bring its rewards later. Your finances could benefit in the long term if you avoid temptation to do something quickly.
