Forcing Bulbs
We are entering into the months were few outdoor plants will be blooming. Thus, flowering bulbs, placed throughout your home in key areas, is a special treat for your eyes, nose and spirit. Wednesday is the day to learn one new thing — today’s topic is forcing bulbs.
It’s easy and cheap. Empty glass bowls/small vases or any pot will suffice. You can use dirt, marbles, seashells . . . as the filler. First choose your favorite bulbs, (CLICK HERE for bulb resources). You may want an ensemble to create a fragrant symphony throughout your rooms . . . or for holiday gifts! Next, cover the bulbs with the filler, leaving the tips exposed. Add water and leave the containers in filtered light. Soon you should see the little green leaves emerging from the uncovered tips of the bulbs. Voila - your home is filled with the zen of springtime in the depths of winter. How great!
