The Perfect Time to Plant Spring Bulbs Is NOT When You're Expecting

You want to make sure you plant your bulb in the right direction, with the bottom of the bulb into the ground first. The bottom of the bulb has little roots growing from it already and is generally flatter than the top, which is pointy. Of course, the bottom is where the roots will grow, while the top part of the bulb will sprout the leaves and flowers.
