46: Spring Blooming Bulbs

small, purple iris flowers with a dusting of snow.

It may be fall but gardening season isn’t over! This week we are talking all about fall planting bulbs: how, what, when and how to protect them from critters. Spring Blooming bulbs make up a key food source for pollinators, especially native bees, since they bloom before many other plants have even started to green up.

We had a lot of fun recording this episode and out ‘end of planting season’ caught up with us; check out the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum on Patreon for an uncut version featuring bears and shrews.
