You have not seen the sun for quite a long time, because it has been snowing cats and dogs for the past couple of days or perhaps weeks, depending on your locality. And suddenly your eyes light up on some plants growing indoors, and blooming away in colorful abundance and profusion. These spring flowers are growing in the winter, indoors, right inside your house. For an avid gardener, not knowing anything about growing bulbs, both indoors and outdoors is about on par with a keen fisherman not bothering to keep in touch with the prime locations where he can catch tarpon, salmon and other amazing catches. But for a newbie knowing nothing about gardening, and going into it for the first time, what is all the fuss about bulbs? If you have herbs like garlic, onions and shallots an integral part of your daily cuisine, these bulbs are grown with cloves of garlic planted in the soil, and the lily family plant bulbs planted in the spring to give you a delicious herbal harvest within a couple of months. Also imagine a world without Narcissus, lilies, crocuses, daffodils, gladioli, tulips, snowdrops and hyacinths. All of these have grown from bulbs, instead of from seedlings, seeds or cuttings. So as your new project, and enjoyable future occupation, that of growing bulbs indoors, and making it a lovely fascinating pleasant place with lilies blooming inside, and garlic, spreading its own individual aroma in the kitchen, this book is going to give you some easy to follow DIY tips and techniques on how you can do that without growing bored with the complete long, tedious, boring procedure. It isn’t necessarily so!

Book excerpt: Cooler-zone gardeners are discovering that with a little wintertime care, plants that have long been considered "annuals" can thrive for years. These plants — including geraniums, gladioli, dahlias, begonias, rosemary, lavender, snapdragons, and even impatiens — aren't annuals at all. Rather, they are tender perennials. They aren't hardy enough to survive winter on their own, but they can be moved indoors during the cold months and then returned to the garden in spring. Many are even more beautiful in their second and third years! Bulbs in the Basement, Geraniums on the Windowsill is the first comprehensive resource on the care and maintenance of tender plants. In this zone-defying guide, you'll find simple techniques for overwintering, along with 160 detailed plant profiles that include individualized advice for overwintering and indoor care. With this practical guide, you can enjoy your favorite plants year after year, no matter where you live!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dubbed the Bulb Hunter in a 2006 New York Times feature story, Chris Wiesinger took his passion for bulbs to vacant lots, abandoned houses, cemeteries, and construction sites throughout the South in search of botanical survivors whose descendants had never seen the inside of a big-box chain store. The vintage specimens Wiesinger sought came from hardy, historic stock, adapted to human neglect and hot climates, reappearing faithfully over decades without care or cultivation. Traveling back roads, speaking to strangers, looking for the telltale color of a remnant iris or lily, Wiesinger started digging, then began trying to grow and share the bulbs he collected. From its humble beginnings on an East Texas sweet potato farm, his Southern Bulb Company has now grown into a full-fledged business known throughout the world, propagating and selling the rare, tough, heritage plants Wiesinger still seeks out and champions. Nicknamed “Flower” by his fellow cadets at Texas A&M University, Wiesinger relates his adventures in bulb hunting, telling stories of the bulbs he has discovered and weaving in his own life story as a student, plantsman, and small business owner. He then teams with veteran horticulturist William C. Welch to provide advice on how to grow and appreciate the bulbs that have been rescued and reintroduced. This “primer” gives gardeners information on what bulbs to grow where, when to plant them and when they bloom, and how to incorporate them with other plants in the landscape. Finally, Welch describes how bulbs have enhanced his personal gardens and brought him and Wiesinger together in the common cause of heirloom gardening. Entertaining, informative, and loaded with beautiful photographs, The Bulb Hunter is sure to be a favorite of gardeners and plant lovers everywhere.
