The crocuses haven't bloomed yet as I just planted them a few months ago. I'm crossing my fingers to have some beautiful flowers and saffron stems in the fall! Hi BaL!

And one of the flowers I love the best! I love them wild , but also it must be marvellous to have them blooming in the kitchen! Best wishes from Istanbul...

Growing your own is the best way to know what you are getting! Amanda, good idea for the bubble wrap! I'll have to give that a try. Cris, the boys check them every morning as soon as they wake up! I've had trouble keeping The Little Man's fingers out of the dirt, though... :-) Gift of Green, hopefully this little experiment will yield some results next fall! Nika, so far it's been easy. Hopefully the squirrels will leave the outdoor bulbs alone this winter! Freya, I agree. Growing your own is the best way to know what you are getting!

You could try insulating the pots with bubble wrap and then some decorative fabric tied around so it didn't look so unsightly. Can you also use straw? I'm sure I used to see things covered with straw in my grandfathers garden over the winter. Maybe that was the strawberries. I need to do some research.
