The last of my tulip bulbs are FINALLY getting planted and I am putting them in crates! Crate planting has it’s advantages – it is easier to plant and pull your tulips in crates vs a trench because the soil is loose. You can also move the crates into a greenhouse for earlier blooming if you choose! Watch this video to see my method.

Thanks Christina 🎄🎄🎄🎄💚🙃
I look forward to your blooms..I plant in pots so this might be a new way for me next season. Thanks for your videos!
I planted some tulips in containers to try this year. I am going to leave them outside because I do not have a covered space to keep them. I am zone 7a. Have you had issues with leaving them outside?
I hate to be a downer but I planted layers of tulips in large pots and surrounded the pots with garbage bags full of leaves. They were rotten by spring. So 😢
Where do you purchase the crates?
Here in the UK gardeners often plant up decorative pots of bulbs for a spring display and it certainly works for me. They are just on my patio by the back door so I can enjoy them from the kitchen window. I am in what you would call a Zone 8 I think. Temp. Today is 6C. Further North they place the pots in a sheltered position until the weather warms up. It’s such a shame that tulips rarely bloom in their second season but I usually replant a few on my allotment with some success. I hope your project is successful.
