Check out the intensive way that tulip bulbs are planted for cut flowers, and the logic behind it. And watch the magic of 5000 tulip bulbs get planted into the ground in a single day.

I'm constantly asked, as a grower with qualifications in the subject, and decades of experience/knowledge, why do I spend my time watching other people's channels? Well, aside from the fact that some, like yourselves are exceptionally entertaining, I'd hate to think my ego allowed me to believe I'd learned everything there is to know, and this video is one of the constant sighs of relief that I haven't. I'm not a commercial flower grower, and so didn't know that this is why Tulip bulbs are only used once. I'm constantly fascinated by other people's knowledge/experience, and thankful for your willingness to share, so that mine can also be expanded too 😁

My 11 year old son approached me last week saying: “mom I’m too young for anyone to hire me for a job, but I do know how to grow flowers, so next summer I want to become a flower farmer”. 😘 Then this video was in my recommends.

No matter how they are grown, tulips are beautiful spring flowers. Your cats are also great helpers.

When tulips bloom, spring is coming. I was in Amsterdam one year when the tulips bloomed. It was overwhelming.

Serina and Ian, I hope you both know what an inspiration you are to all of us. God bless you and yours.

That is an amazing idea to layer the metal at the bottom. I struggle with voles and squirrels here too in Michigan.

[Flanuora]

I’m so excited to see you put this bed of tulips to great use this spring!

I love your channel so much! Started my own company as a florist and next year I will try to grow my own flowers. Your channel helps me out so much. Both with inspiration and knowledge ❤️

[JoyoftheGardenandHome]

Definitely waiting and watching for those tulips! Great teamwork as always ❤

[Yohina]

That soil is amazing! I dug a 2 by 4 trench this year for tulips and it was mostly clay after the top 2 inches! Jealous of your soil!

Also those tulips will look so amazing! Can't wait!!
