When to cut dahlia flowers
Filed Under Gardening | Leave a Comment
Just came back from the garden and cut myself a little bouquet of dahlia flowers. It’s summer and the dahlias are blooming in all their colours, so it’s a bit tricky to find me a complete dahlia bouquet, today I am in a pink mood 
Just to share with you that the best time of cutting dahlia flowers is when they are fully open! Unlike with other flowers where you cut them just before they "peak" or before all of the flowers are open.
Dahlia is your perfect exception: you can admire them blooming at their peak in your garden or cutting them to enjoy them in your house.

How to harvest tulip bulbs
Filed Under Gardening, Tulip Care | Leave a Comment
All depends on how much effort you want to put into your garden
If you have Greigii or Kaufmanniana tulips, you can just keep them in the ground "forever". Same with tulips you have planted in a big group: just leave them where they are.
Other tulip bulbs you wait until flowering is finished. You remove the flowers and sit and wait until the tulip leaves turn yellow, dry out and wither. Then you wait for about another 6 weeks and remove the tulip bulbs.
Store tulip bulbs in a warm, dry place. Separate the big bulbs from the small bulbs.
The next year you replant the big bulbs where you want to admire your tulips and you plant the smaller tulip bulbs together so they can still be attractive and grow out to become bigger bulbs.

July looks promising
Filed Under Gardening | Leave a Comment
What I love about July is that whatever fruits are now on our apple and pear-trees will most likely last until the harvest in September and October. Unless of course some extreme hurricane uproots out trees, but that only happened once in my entire lifetime.
What happens is that in June lots of fruits that will never make it until ripening just fall of to make space for the ones that will.
Last June was very very mild: very little apples and pears fell on our grass, so I guess we are in for some cider brewing at the end of the year!
