I just ordered a ton of stuff as an early christmas gift to myself from blooming bulb.com and I'm hoping for the best, i'm on kind of a budget and they had decent prices although I didn't look that hard. Where are you shopping?
In the mean time, all my bulbs from previous year are still in full leaf. This year I've taken really good care of them and I'm hoping most of them will bloom this winter.
I don't need them to bloom for chistmas - obviously I'm already to late for that, in fact I'd prefer them to bloom late so the sun is stronger when they leaf out. We're still having pretty warm weather in NY- 75-82 days but they are getting a lot less sun then they used to becasue of shorter days and the sun lower in the sky. Should I give them a couple more days/weeks, maybe one more dose of miracle grow and wait for cool temps to start witholding water, or just withhold water until they dry out where they are (outside in the sun)? Or withold water and put them somewhere dark-ish like the garrage? Do they need the cold (40-50 temps?). It won't be all that cool in the garrage now. I do have a wine fridge I could put them in if I had to provide a cool spell- it runs about 55 degrees.
Thoughts? advice?
