Another tip for growing bulbs

Share

THANK you for Robert Smaus’ article on SoCal-suited bulbs [“Beauty That Not Only Lasts -- It Multiplies,” Oct. 5].

To mark where my bulbs and alstroemerias are buried (so I don’t disturb them in the summer), I leave a section of cheap wire fencing lying on the ground over them, the pokey ends bent into the soil to hold everything in place.

Sometimes I poke or sprinkle some summer annual seeds on the area for summer interest.

I have searched the websites Mr. Smaus listed and found them to be disappointing. The websites he has listed carry so few bulbs, it is pathetic.
