Laidback Gardener Tip of the Day

Sleeping Bulbs Need No Watering

SAMSUNGIrrigation systems and spring-blooming bulbs (tulips, narcissus, crocus, etc.) don’t mix. During the summer, when the bulbs are dormant, they do not need much water and can rot if they get too much. You’ll find you’ll grow the most beautiful tulips, especially. in flowerbeds you never water at all!

Garden writer and blogger, author of 65 gardening books, lecturer and communicator, the Laidback Gardener, Larry Hodgson, passed away in October 2022. Known for his great generosity, his thoroughness and his sense of humor, he reached several generations of amateur and professional gardeners over his 40-year career. Thanks to his son, Mathieu Hodgson, and a team of contributors, laidbackgardener.blog will continue its mission of demystifying gardening and making it more accessible to all.
