Must-have spring bulbs
17
items I am sad summer is over, but that just means that it's time to plant fall bulbs. Fall planted spring bulbs are perfect because they nestle in all winter for a beautiful show in the spring and require basically zero care! These are my favorite bulbs from my favorite online retailers. Now is the perfect time to get your orders in so these get planted before frost. I also highly recommend the tool to make sure they're getting deep enough, so the squirrels don't enjoy them before you can.

I promise you'll forget what you planted and where! I love these because they're sturdy, pencil wipes off of them only when you need it to, and they can be reused year after year.
