FORCING BULBS FOR SPRING BLOOM

I've never done that, but this looks like a decently informed site:

thanks. Im gonna try forcing even if its a bit late. 15 weeks is into MArch. Usually I have great luck at buying potted bulbs like tulips and after we have em on the table a week or so, I plant em in the garden and usually they rebloom next year (we do feed them once)

Best of luck to you -

I have my own gardening problem! My potatoes were all scabby this year and my onions were teeny. I googled it and found out my soil is too acidic. Everything is completely edible but I've never had such scabby produce. Also, my carrots were all deformed and smaller than expected. Again, too acidic soil. Gonna have to add some lime, I guess.

I put my amarylis in a dark, cool place, watering it infrequently, until Jan.

Then I bring it out, fertilize it and make sure it gets a lot of sun and I always have huge red flowers for early spring.

dont plant tomatoes too close to carrots. Wont hurt the carrots but it will stuntthem. Acidic soil needs compost AND lime. Mpst of your problem sounds like tilth . Ive grown taters in acidic soil and its done fairly well.

I know they need a few months of hard freeze after roots develop in the pot

Didn't plant any tomatoes.

I compost every year. Will add lime next year. What's tilth?

Also, last year, my onions were fantastic. I bought seedlings (already planted) but this year I bought onion sets. I shared them with two others and they had the same experience. Also, I didn't hill my potatoes until late as I wasn't here. So I only got about 10 - 12 lbs. I didn't thin my carrots, either, so that may be why. Not all were deformed, but a lot were. Going to add more peat next year, too.
