Question
Well, I am a late starter this season. I have not had much time to plant the proper bulbs for spring. Can you please advise me on what bulbs I am able to plant during the month of May? Also, which bulbs are fast to bloom for summer? Any suggestions would help as far as making the best of my summer garden. I need a quick jump start for summer:( ..........thank you so much, Patricia

Patricia,
The beauty with summer bulbs is that you can plant now. Good choices galdiolus, crocosmia, peacock lily, peruvian lily, calla, fritillaria to name a few.
Good gardening
If you are satisfied with my response please nominate me for volunteer of the month
