How deep to plant your bulbs?
I used to worry about how deep I should be planting my bulbs into the ground. Planting too shallow the plant may fall over and planting too deep the plant may not grow? Nowadays I don’t care how deep to plant them anymore.
The truth is you shouldn’t worry about how deep these bulbs should be planted because even if they are not planted deep enough, the root system of the bulbs will grow and shrink to enable the bulbs to be pulled down deeper into the ground if need be. That’s what the latest scientific discovery found and I read about it somewhere. They even have a name for this kind of root system but I can’t remember. If you know what I’m talking about please enlighten me.

good to know i’m not the only one who plants bulbs willy nilly (in regards to depth).
