Can you imagine digging all of those holes?\u00a0 Like my kids, Bambi doesn&#8217;t care who cooked or set the table, as long as dinner is ready.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We&#8217;ll start with the category that people are most familiar with: bulbs.\u00a0 There are all kinds of bulbs ranging from short, bright yellow winter aconite that carpets the ground in early spring when little else is out, to tall, majestic tulips that bloom when spring is almost over.<\/p>\n<p>Pick out your bulbs early if you can, and start planting about six weeks before your freeze date.\u00a0 Here in zone 5b USDA, that&#8217;s usually around the end of November.\u00a0 However, I will confess that I&#8217;ve been seen frantically digging in half-frozen ground on a snowy Thanksgiving morning, trying to get some bulbs in before it was too late.\u00a0 So while the bulbs will probably make it if you plant later than you really should (assuming there are a couple of chances for the ground to thaw), it&#8217;s always better to give the bulbs a chance to settle in.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not going to name all of the bulbs that can be planted, but there are a lot.\u00a0 They include winter aconite, puschkinia, Siberian squill, grape hyacinth, hyacinths, daffodils, tulips, Fritillaria, snowdrops, glory-of-the-snow, Spanish squill, crocus&#8230;\u00a0 The list goes on and on.<\/p>\n<p>There are several things to remember when planting bulbs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Respect the bulb&#8217;s cultural requirements.\u00a0\u00a0Some bulbs like moisture and shade, and others like well-drained rock gardens.\u00a0 Make sure what you&#8217;ve picked works for where you&#8217;ve picked it.<\/li>\n<li>Consider the colors of your bulbs and the plants around them.\u00a0 Pink tulips might clash horribly with a neighboring redbud, for example.<\/li>\n<li>If you have problems with deer, the following bulbs are less attractive to them:\n<ul>\n<li>Snowdrops<\/li>\n<li>Glory-of-the-snow<\/li>\n<li>Crocus<\/li>\n<li>Daffodil<\/li>\n<li>Glory-of-the-snow<\/li>\n<li>Grape hyacinths<\/li>\n<li>Ornamental onions<\/li>\n<li>Fritillaria<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>If you have problems with rabbits, use the above list with the exception of Crocus.\u00a0 However,\u00a0<em>Crocus tommasinianus\u00a0<\/em>seems to be less palatable to rabbits than other Crocus selections.<\/li>\n<li>For more naturalized plantings, don&#8217;t space your bulbs out evenly.\u00a0 Just toss them on the ground and plant them where they land. It will look a lot more natural.<\/li>\n<li>Plant your bulbs at the proper depth.\u00a0 Smaller bulbs are usually shallower, and larger bulbs require deeper holes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Pansies<\/h3>\n<p>Because pansies can&#8217;t handle summer heat but do well in cool weather, they are a staple of container gardens in early spring and fall.\u00a0 \u00a0They&#8217;ll continue blooming past frost until a hard freeze sets in, or sometimes through the entire winter in warmer climates.\u00a0 What many people don&#8217;t know is that they can overwinter if planted in the ground, they can survive winter temperatures as low as -30F and come back again in the spring.\u00a0 Providing some extra mulch or compost will help ensure their survival.<\/p>\n<p>Pansies do well with fertilizer, so give them some compost or granular 20-10-20 fertilizer when you plant, then reapply one week later and gently work it into the soil without disturbing any roots.\u00a0 Repeat in early spring if the plants re-emerge or haven&#8217;t gone dormant.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_487\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hort.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/flowers-summer-pink-nature-47360.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-487\" class=\"wp-image-487\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hort.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/flowers-summer-pink-nature-47360-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hort.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/flowers-summer-pink-nature-47360-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.hort.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/flowers-summer-pink-nature-47360-768x511.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.hort.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/flowers-summer-pink-nature-47360-1024x681.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-487\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chrysanthemum flowers.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Chrysanthemums<\/h3>\n<p>There are many varieties of chrysanthemums out there in colors ranging from white to deep maroon.\u00a0 They bloom naturally in the fall, so if you have some planted in your perennial beds you&#8217;ll get consistent blooms every year to add some color when everything else starts to shut down and turn brown.\u00a0 \u00a0Most people are more familiar with the large pots seen outside of nursery and grocery store this time of year instead.<\/p>\n<p>Be aware that the large, flowering plants that you purchase in the fall will not survive through the winter in colder climates. \u00a0Some, like the yellow daisy and painted daisy &#8216;mums, are true annuals and won&#8217;t even survive in warmer climates. \u00a0Others are more picky. \u00a0 They do make great accents in the garden though, and I like to buy small, cheap pots and replace the nearly-dead petunias in our window boxes with more cheerful &#8216;mums.\u00a0 They might only last a month or two, but seeing some bright yellow blooms every day while the daylight hours get shorter makes it worth the $20 to me.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to try overwintering them, good drainage is critical. \u00a0Add some compost to your planting hole to help drain, and make sure they&#8217;re not in a low, non-draining spot in your garden. \u00a0Don&#8217;t put rocks in the hole either &#8212;
