Spring Bulbs

Since we're knee deep in Winter, I keep dreaming about Spring bulbs.  Hyacinths, tulips & daffodils.  Oh I cannot wait to see those little splashes of color popping up from the blanket of snow.  Hyacinths are my favorite.  The funny thing about the bulbs is that the won't bloom until they spend some time in the dark cold ground...well, there is a way around that.  To cheer up my winter home, I always buy an extra package of hyacinths and store them in the garage until mid-way through the season, then around now, I pull them inside to warm up, keeping them in the dark for another good week.  Next post on the bulbs, I'll show you what they look like now, after the extra week in the warmth and dark.
