Question
I have some tulip bulbs that were in a pot. I want to dry and store them until next fall for planting. How do I do that?
Just take them out of the pot and shake off the excess dirt and trim the roots a little bit. Then put them in a dry cardboard box in a cool dry place like a basement or cellar. That's it! When you are ready to plant take them in fall dig the holes and fill with fresh potting soil,water well and cover with about 4" layer of mulch for protection in winter.
Have a great summer gardening season!
