February

From indoors to outdoors.

Have your potted bulbs finished flowering? If so, toss them on the compost heap for organic waste or (nicer!) plant them in your garden or in a little landscaped area nearby.

Not all of these bulbs will emerge next year, but you stand a good chance of success with daffodils and grape hyacinths. Do not attempt with amaryllis and paperwhites unless you live in the deep south.

* Adjust months slightly according to your climate zone.
