Where I live, the ground doesn't ever freeze. Do you know when I should make an appointment with Dr. Plantabulb? I usually try to do so before mid to end of November, but I'm not sure what the best timing is.

I had a couple early appointments with the good doctor this year, including one to plant camassia bulbs like yourself!

I'd like to make an appointment with Dr. Plantabulb as soon as the rain stops. I've been digging up a new garden and cleaning things up and still haven't gotten around to bulb planting. I'm not worried yet, but if the weather doesn't improve I may be doing a lot of indoor bulb forcing this year.

I have tested Dr. Plantabulb's patience many a time, but he is remarkably tolerant and easy to work with.

I'm waiting for Dr. Plantabulb to finish up north, and then I'll see him (?) myself. We don't plant bulbs until November in central OK, so y'all can have DPB til then.~~Dee

I met with the good doctor today. It was a quick appointment but we covered a lot of ground.

I've already had my session with Dr. Plantabulb (sadly, though, not with weather as nice as you had), but now I need to talk to a doctor about digging up the dahlias. Dr. Digger perhaps?

Thanks for the Allium reminder. I dug up mine in front because they weren't working where they were. I'm going to put them in back behind a Hosta where their fading foliage won't be such an eyesore.

Ah, so you are also a patient of Dr Plantabulb? He is good, isn't he? I have already had a few appointments with him (or is it her?) this autumn. I started my garden 1,5 years ago and one of my first mistakes was planting not enough flower bulbs! I planted about 100 bulbs last year, and that was simply not enough. So this year I have planted about 150 .... let's see how it will look this

Here in Texas, I consult with Dr. Narcissa Jonquilla Plantabulb as late as January and even February. We had a session earlier this month at the Bulb Mart, where I bought 100 Ivory Floradale tulips to plant in my late friend Amy's garden. Dr. NJP believes in following Elizabeth of GWI's advice to dig one large hole for the bulbs rather than individual holes. It's certainly easier on

Your garden is still so beautiful. Just when IS the bloom day each month? I scrolled back through some of your wonderful posts and saw that October's was on the 15th. And how does Bloom Day work? This gardener has an "inquiring mind that needs to know".

Thanks.

I have a question to ask. In Feb we had a bulb sale in Austin. I bought some of the naturalizing tulips, clusiana. They came up and flowered and were beautiful. I waited until the foliage had died down and as I pulled the dead foliage out, out came the shrunken bulbs, They had not put on any root growth and therefore had not fattened up for the next year. So, I am wondering. What were the bulb

I've had a couple of sessions with Dr. Plantabulb the last few days, and expect to have more as soon as my species tulips arrive.
