5 Popular Bulbs You Can Plant Now for Gorgeous Summer Color! 🌸🌼🌺 // Garden Answer 

Yes! That is my yard!

I feel the same way here in Ohio. I try to amend with gypsum, but there's no solution for all of the rocks that we have. But as you mentioned, there's an upside to the clay soil - it's great for ponds!

we have coral under an inch of soil.

In my last house I felt like I was planting on the beach the soil was so sandy. Talk about fast draining 😫. The quest for perfect soil goes on.

Same here in KY. Hoping that using Laura's technique of amending every year going forward will finally help. When the clumps dry, they turn basically to cement. Ugh.

Thank you for your service. Go AF!

I have a family member in the AF. We care and are deeply proud of you all.🇺🇸

Thank you for your service 🙏❤

... and little Samantha Grace gets rolled around in the garden each evening which is wonderful, and Benjamin is becoming more hands-on now since he is getting older... It warms my heart so! 🙏♥️🤘 =^..^=

@@naturegirl7777 yes it does!! 😍😍

I tried growing them last year and didn’t get one flower, only lots of lush green leaves 😩

@@haypat9761 I tried for the first time last year. When I planted I read not to fertilize or amend... then a month or two later was worried i wouldn’t get any flowers. Started fertilizing with bloom boosting formulas and BAM. Loads! And of course bow I’m addicted. 💐 SO much work!

@@karenklei Oh thank you so much. Will try that!

Me too, had my first bloom this week. Houston Tx

Me too!!

I also made a little 3-ring binder with all the suggestions I want to adopt from GA!

@@elisecurran9497 Fun to know you did the same! So much great information & inspiration!

Laura, your teaching all the information I always wanted my mother to teach but she just couldn’t. Thank you, my home is transforming with garden and flower beds. Thank you! Ring Binder idea is bright idea.

The ones that give it a thumbs down click due to boredom and don't watch for the knowledge and just give it a thumbs down when they see it has so many ups:/ my thoughts tho. I only watch what I want to watch and always give it a thumbs up even if it's not as interesting as I thought it would be. But not Laura's there always fun and interesting. That's a given

I love how you just go about your business and Russell your furry assistant is allowed to participate as well!

Doing well. Have a great weekend!

Good morning!! Enjoy the weekend!!

All the time, most of my yard is shady.

every single video!

I have an impossible situation with sunlight, in the tropics. and pets. I don't love tropical plants, seen one hibiscus, seen them all. I love ferns and spruce trees, keep the coconut palms.

definitely!! tomorrow I'm gonna go buy calla lilies and dahlias. Going to sacrifice my veggie containers hahah

@@sandramulchahey8268 Mine too!

We recently have an orange super lovable stray cat hanging around the past month. He follows me around everywhere outside. Just melts your heart. Reminds me of russell

I think Laura and Aaron need to do a video on the Day and Life of Russell and Cheddar on the Farm! They would get millions of views!

Zone 5a SE WI all my annuals are in my garage and my peonies are trying hard to sustain themselves in this wicked wind. Typical Memorial Day weather in W!😢

Good suggestion! Maybe she'll include them in a future video. In case you happen to get your hands on iris bulbs before she creates that video, just wanted to note that this one had such a variety of bulb types that you can probably still use it as a reference. One note is that there are a few different types of irises. Some have teardrop-shaped bulbs that look similar to the gladiolus in this video and are planted the same way (point up, a few inches deep). Others have rhizomes that look similar to the cannas in this video and planted the same way (long, wide rhizomes are planted horizontally, fairly shallow, with the growing tips pointing up). Sometimes, you might also find a garden center selling them as potted plants, in which case, you treat them like most other potted plants and transplant to the same soil depth. I've had a couple irises die on me over the years, but the vast majority of the types I've tried have been REALLY forgiving and multiplied each year, so if you find some bulbs/plants you like the look of, I'd say give them a shot!

Because iris are spring blooming rhizomes you would need to plant them in late summer /early fall depending on your zone. They need time to get established before the first frost. You can be looking for them in garden centers later in the season.

Floret Flowers has a new mini book out for download on her favorite varieties of Iris. Perhaps look at her channel.
