Fall is a great time to plant bulbs and planting them in the correct soil will insure healthy blooms for seasons to come. For example, here in zone 4 I add a fresh layer of compost to break down soil that contains a large amount of clay. There are three types of bulbs, Hyacinths, tubers and croms. It is imperative they are purchased from a reputable source. Bulbs come in a variety of shapes and sizes and perform best when they are planted at the correct depth and position. I enjoy tulips and daffodils in spring and gladiolas in summer. Once the initial work is done they will be enjoyed for several seasons. Cheers
