HOW CAN I TELL WHEN TO DIVIDE OR PRUNE BACK MY PERENNIALS ?
DIVIDING PERENNIALS
THE TWO MOST BASIC REASONS FOR DIVIDING ARE IF THE PLANT IS THICK WITH GREENS BUT HARDLY ANY FLOWERS, OR IF IT IS TAKING OVER YOUR GARDEN AND SNUFFING OUT THE OTHER PLANTS.
Overcrowded Daylillies Inhibating Flowering
Daylillies Taking Over the Garden
PRUNING PERENNIALS
I GO WITH THE FLOW OF THE WEATHER AND WHEN EACH PLANT IS READY. BUT IF YOUR READY FIRST AND TIME AND APPEARANCE ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU, IT DOESN'T HURT TO PRUNE THEM ALL BACK AT ONCE AND EARLY.

CAN SPRING FLOWERING BULBS BE PLANTED IN NOVEMBER?
SOME IMPORTANT TIPS:
Plant Tulips and Daffodils 8 to 10 inches down and Hyacynith bulbs 6 to 8 inches (other bulbs in accordance of directions). This is very necessary in order to keep them cold and dormant in an un-timely thaw and out of reach from rodents.
Plant in groubs no smaller the 5 in full sun for high yields and effective.
Plant a perennial such as forget-me-nots in between to hide the browning greens in summer for daffodils and hyacynths as the green feeds the bulbs for the following year. Tulips need to be replanted every year.
Avoid salt from roadways areas. The plants grow in a deformed and sickly manner.
Avoid lawn fertilized areas. It promotes leaf and root growth but inhibits flowering.
