Spring will be a glorious season with many flower blooms provided you fertilize. Fertilization will make sure that the flowers grow strong and thrive in your gardens.

My spring bulbs are established in my garden with no
new plantings in the fall. However, I
always fertilize in the fall after the flower beds are cut back to the soil
line and all weeds are removed from the bed.
I will fertilize with bonemeal. And apply it to the soil where I have planted my spring
bulbs. I will top the fertilizer with a layer of soil and water. Then
before winter comes I will add a layer of mulch.
Then in the spring when I remove the winter season debris
and any remaining leaves, and mulch/ If I see that the spring bulbs have broken
the soil line I will give the flowers a spring growing boost by fertilizing them with bonemeal topped with soil and replace the mulch around the spring bulb
stems to help retain hydration and to prevent weed growth.
Care for your spring flowers by letting the foliage
die back naturally. Do not prune the
leaves as the leaves are a way for the plant to replenish energy and nutrients
for next spring's blooming season.
I use Espoma Organic Bone Meal Fertilizer 4-12-0. An All-Natural Plant Food Source of Nitrogen and Phosphorus and I bought it at Amazon. bone meal is a slow-release fertilizer that
takes 4-6
weeks to start working so apply it as soon as you see
new spring growth in early winter so the mid-spring blooms will be beautiful.
