May 7th
I want to plant several different kinds of bulbs in my front yard garden. Will I have to change up the soil or mulch? I’m not sure if I should re do the whole garden or not. I just bought this house 6 months ago and the front garden is nice but I want to brighten it up with color. The soil feels and looks fine. Also any time in the spring thats the best? Such as late March or mid-April? Thanks in advance!

If I planted flower bulbs in the summer time and they never sprouted, will they survive?
Mar 20th
I planted many different kinds of flower bulbs in May. About 75 bulbs and 20 different types. None of them ever sprouted. Will some of them survive, or should I replant? I also planted three grape plants, and they never “came alive” either.
I know you arent supposed to plant bulbs in the summer so I was just wondering if i should replant.
First Time Bonsai: a 5 Points Survival Guide
