I may have to put my remaining bulbs in containters. I have a large tub of dirt that I'm keeping covered just in case I need to use it. <BR/><BR/>Of course I won't use straight dirt in my bulb containers. I'll mix it up with peat moss and compost first. <BR/><BR/>I have never intentionally overwintered plants in containers. I suspect the key is to make sure that the containers have a decent amount of moisture in them before they freeze. And once they freeze, they should be covered in a pile of leaves or straw so they don't thaw and refreeze.Peter Hohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916196998855947137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13466687.post-13128762287017992842007-10-17T00:00:00.000-05:002007-10-17T00:00:00.000-05:00I hope these come back next spring!
