If you would like to plant bulbs I have some suggestions.

You could plant daffodils, runuaualars, hypuatras,

have to be careful when you plant them as they have
thorns in them.

Fertilizing
Well rotted horse and cattle manure contains plenty of
nutrients for plants it can be added before planting or
used as a surface mulch around established plants.
Adding fertilizer to the base off planting holes for
new plants will encourage good root establishment and
growth in the first season.
Balanced ground all established plants in spring dis-

One day I will fill

a huge vase of roses….

If I had a big vase of flowers I would have

to put water in vase and I would put some
daisies, roses and geraniums in the vase.
I know it will look pretty in the vase. The
flowers would be nice ones and they would
have all the colours.

I will grow flowers in my garden; I will pick

them and put them in a pretty coloured vase
