It’s Bulb Season, Baby!

Hf_bulbfood Daffodils and tulips and hyacinths, oh my! If you planted them in the fall, you’re going to start reaping your rewards any day now. Support healthy flowering with Peace of Mind or Happy Frog Bulb Food by scratching it into the soil according to package directions as soon as foliage appears.

After your flowers have bloomed, be sure to feed them again! As soon as a bulb finishes blooming, it starts working on next year’s flower. A healthy dose of fertilizer now will promote bigger blooms next year. And don’t forget to leave the foliage on—it helps feed the roots throughout the summer!
