Green thumbers: who knows tulips? I received a bunch of living tulips in bloom this winter. I was told to cut off the flower stems when they passed their prime, but to let the leaves die off naturally - then I could re-plant the bulbs. So, now I have a bunch of pots of dirt with crunchy dead leaves. What and when do I do what with these?

Thanks - does it matter when?

did you know that forcing bulbs is abuse? Yah! B/c they use up their own food supplies instead of getting it from the dirt and then they are kaput. You have to just throw thems away.

bull carp

it is NOT!

never heard of a bull carp...

I'm talking about forcing them in water & stones

good regroup.

don't sass me

I promise to plant them in dirt!

carry on then
