Spring divisions, while not necessarily good for the U.S. Senate, are very good for the garden. Spring is the ideal time to divide and transplant many perennials, and a great time to create more plants.
Bulbs are usually the last plants (after trees, perennials and shrubs) to be added to a garden because, like ferns, they are so good at filling in the remaining empty spaces within a bed or border.
There are two times of year when gardeners start thinking ahead. The first arrives in January when the seed catalogues show up; the second happens in early summer when bulb catalogs arrive.
