perfect for spring bulbs and perennials as the season progresses i look forward to sharing my garden with you each week providing information for both the beginning and the experi enced gardener tulip anniversary the tulip has received much attention recently last year was the 400th anniversary of the original wild tulip being taken from its native turkey to holland where it was grown and hybridized into the many different forms we enjoy today for the last 50 years the tulip has been a symbol of the close friendship formed between canada and the netherlands during the second world war as you enjoy this springs tulips make some notes to help you plan where you will plant more bulbs this fall tb ensure a good show of blooms again next year follow these suggestions 1 an application of liquid 202020 fertilizer will enable the plant to manufacture food to be stored in the bulb 2 remove spent blooms so the plant will not waste ener gy in seed production 3 do not remove foliage until it turns brown aging foliage can be camouflaged by fast growing perennials such as peonies daylilies and hardy geraniums i appreciate the tulip vari eties that have variegated green and cream leaves even after the flowers are finished they provide a splash of color watch for these fancyleaved varieties praestans unicum 6inch bunch flowered scarlet robassa 12inch shiny red new design 16inch soft pink esperanto 15inch rose flamed with green silver stream new for 95 20inch creamy yellow flushed with red onion growing the onion is an edible bulb one of our oldest cultivated vegetables having been used as food for 5000 years onions and other cool weather crops spinach peas radish pota toes beets cabbage etc can be planted now wait until late may for tomatoes pep pers eggplant cucumbers melons and squash onions can be grown from seed sown directly into the ground one- quarter inch deep with three seed per inch faster results will be achieved by planting small plants that were started indoors six weeks earlier onions can also be grown from sets which are small dormant onion bulbs ready to be plant ed two inches deep and a half inch apart this was my first gardening task at age four as the daughter of a market gar dener the perfectly grown onion has 13 rings and 13 leaves one for each ring to allow room for bulb development thin the plants to three to five inches apart the thinnings are delicious green onions sometimes onion plants will bolt ie produce a flower stem this is undesirable as onions are grown for their bulbs rather than flowers this stalk should be removed planting advice as mothers day approaches its a time to appreciate our moms when i was very young my mother gave me a bag of tulip bulbs and proceeded to show me how to plant them to me they looked like onions which i already knew how to plant after much insisting that i could do it by myself she let me plant the tulips two inches deep imagine my dismay the fol lowing spring when the rotted tulips had been heaved right out of the soil to this day i plant all bulbs two to three inches deeper than recom mended and achieve excellent results so thanks mom for everything including my beautiful tulips next week the answer to why your neighbors impa- tiens always grow taller than yours marjorie mason hogue is a horticulturalist and broad caster who lives in coppins corners world war
