Tulips

If it's cold and snowy outside you have to bring spring inside.

I used to not bother with Tulips, they are fussy and don't seem to mulitply very fast for me..... I learned the trick and what a difference it makes.   You have to let the tulips die back completely before you remove the stems and leaves.  The bulb needs energy to produce flowers the next year and the way they get that energy is from the stems and leaves.  They are really ugly while they die back so I would just cut them down to the ground level, now I plant something in front of them so you can't see them and what a difference it makes the next spring.  I have to say I am a Tulip fan again. 

My door looks pretty darn good back there too.  :)
