Spring Bulbs : Anemones

I have always been fond of growing flowering plants from bulbs.This year I tried many varieties of bulbs that flourish in spring in our region .But unfortunately I guess weather remained too warm for the bulbs to grow naturally.Many of the bulbs did not survive the unpredictable climate .

Anemone bulbs are one of them which I  somehow managed to successfully grow and brought them to flourish eventually.

                                                         
                                This is the anemone bulb that has been soaked in water for 12 hours for rapid germination.After that for preparing potting soil for plantation of bulb: 

Composition of Potting soil must involve around 60 % of River sand ,30 % of Garden soil ,10 % of compost with small amount of Fungicide powder to protect bulb from rotting .
          

After around two months with severely low growth buds starting to appear on the plant



                                                                 

I had planted two bulbs of the colors unknown which came out to be brightest blooms within three months from sowing bulbs.                                                                                                                  

Few tips to care to be taken :                                                                                                                      

They don't prefer overwatering alike every other bulb ,soil must be well drained to achieve desired results,with more of river sand in potting soil .                                                                                   

They can be grown in partial to full sun in winter period ,but protected from direct sunlight while blooming stage has reached.                                                                                                                 

Its spring time best season for flowers to flourish and also to sow seeds of summer annuals and vegetables . I had tried growing Morning glory annual vine through seeds with a unique method that Ill be sharing in my upcoming posts .

Cherry tomatoes from seeds

Last year I bought seeds of tomatoes on which  it was labeled  Wild Texas cherry tomatoes.They were planted 4 months back,to my surprise all seeds germinated .


                                                       Tomatoes ripened now

I planted few seeds in a container in November last year                                                                           

and covered them with thin layer of  cocopeat ,within two weeks all seeds were germinated and were transplanted after a month from sowing .                                                                                

After two months first set of flowers appeared that was one thrilling experience                            

Fruiting started within a month on all plants                                                                              

Spring is in full swing although daytime is getting hotter with every passing time .My Anemones grown from bulbs have came to bloom after a wait of almost four months.
