It already looks so much better.<br /> <br />Interplanting different bulbs is kind of fun so you get a longer bloom season--crocuses then daffodils and then tulips. In general the smaller bulbs will bloom earlier in the season and larger bulbs later. <br /><br />For clay soil you can amend with rice hulls, shredded leaves and paper, or other organic materials. It can take years to make it really rich and viable (depending on how bad it is to start) so be patient. Keep piling on the organic materials and let the worms do the work!-Sydney-https://www.blogger.com/profile/02642504731977225198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546718730043897500.post-46722240295849019872010-11-21T04:49:04.939-08:002010-11-21T04:49:04.939-08:00We will have a Johnson Tulip festival here at Anti...We will have a Johnson Tulip festival here at Antietam Glen too. We just planted tulips on Friday. I love the fact that you have to plant them months in advance to get the reward. You kind of forget about them. Then as winter doldrums give way to spring, up they come to drive the doldrums away.Dale Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01806698744292076677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546718730043897500.post-62087661355253309522010-11-20T20:55:16.438-08:002010-11-20T20:55:16.438-08:00I just checked out the link you posted Maybelline....I just checked out the link you posted Maybelline.

It's well below freezing here so I envy you too. I wish you luck in your tulip-growing, my tulips come up the first year and then die, but scillia and daffodils do just fine.
