Tulip tip
Spring is here and many of us will be bringing in fresh tulips. A tip to get them to stop "growing" and reaching after being cut, you can take a knife and cut a little slit right under the bloom vertically. This will keep them as straight as possible and prevents them from reaching.

Me either. Wonder if it works for other bulb flowers too!

I love to see beautiful tulip flowers in April and May, that is why tulip care during the growing season in the garden is a major priority. I spent good money and poured much time in planting new bulbs in the fall. So that when spring unfolds, I would see those yellow, red, white, pink and other tulip flowers. They are saluting as they wave in the breeze for taking care of them.
