I love crocuses, since they are the announcers of spring and come in so many colors and I sure would plant several patches of them in our yard if we won a $5,000 yard makeover.

I don't use any bulbs at all and I ought to, because there is so much more that can be done with bulbs. They are easy to plant and simple to maintain. You don't need to be an experienced gardener or have a green thumb; they can be grown inside as well as outside in pots and make great gifts, decorations, and an enjoyable pastime.

I made a mental note of her advice pertaining to potted bulbs; containers of summer-flowering bulbs can be left in the pot over winter. Just be sure to move them to a cool, protected place like an unheated garage. That is quick and easily done.
