I would appreciate advice on marking locations of bulbs so that I don't inadvertently dig them up when there is no above-ground foliage.
In mulling it over the past couple weeks, the best idea i came up with is:
Use old bamboo stakes which have broken, or cut up longer ones into 7 to 10-inch pieces. I figure my long-handled loppers will work fine on the bamboo stakes. After the bulbs bloom, when it is time to fertilize, insert the bamboo stakes around the clumps and fertilize. The next year, in early spring or spring, whenever the new shoots appear, fertilize and remove the bamboo stakes. That way, the bamboo stakes do double duty, reminding me where the clump is, and also whether I have fertilized.
If anyone has any other ideas, i'd love to read them. Also, if there have been threads on this in the past, and anyone can give me a link or an effective way to search for same, much obliged.
Thanks!
Thanks
