Awesome I'm waiting on an order now of 4 of 5. We plan to put them all around our yard to bring in the pollinators. We didn't see many bees here this year, so want to draw them in. Our annual flowers and basil just didn't do that this year. It was odd.Such a great video and learned from it. I appreciate it.
Leaning into alliums this next year, lost my tulips last year with voles. Saffron is another attempt as I killed mine this summer. I ordere my bulbs a month ago
Really love your content but when you do videos like this, which is very climate specific, while interesting isn't really useful to those of us who live in the subtropics (while we can force bulbs as you mention, can't naturalise which kinda defeats the idea. Better to mention that there are different bulb options for the subtropics). Also, it should be noted that the reason why many bulbs repel deer and rodents is bcos they're toxic for most animals - which isn't great if you have livestock. Means that, at the very least, you need to be extremely purposeful about locating your bulbs
@@cynthiafisher9907 yes I know, but often it has universal applications. I guess I'm feeling especially resentful about this video too - I love all those cold climate bulbs but have given up trying to grow in my climate (not enough fridge space to force a whole bunch, I occasionally do a few for inside the house - hyacinth is good, for the fragrance)
I try to stay away from giving specific advice for areas where I don't have experience. The things I know that are climate specific are for zones close to mine which are zones 5, 6, and 7.
@@StoneyAcresGardening 😊 and I didn't mean you need to be an expert on all zones, just to suggest that there are better options in bulbs for the subtropics and leave it at that 🤗
