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 ๐๐๐๐๐๐
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 ๐ข
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. Itโs 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.
