How do i upload a signature image? can I post it like a normal image? Oh BTW I'm from Everett (moving to Marysville, WA) I'm a Japanese animator, I like reading, writing, learning about biology, and observing other people's art, May it be pictures, gardening drawings, and figural.
I am a beginning gardener and I don't know very much, Like caring for a possibly dead Crocus(>.o)' Well It's just the bulbs now, and the soil and bulb's dried out while I was at job corps. and my fiancee (bless his heart) couldn't remember to water the broad side if a barn if he ran in to it..

Thus far, I've turned the soil and re-hydrated it, and re-planted the bulbs, Pointy side up right? I have about 10 and most were the size of a small marble. Here's to hoping right?
I think they're supposed to be this color...

Welcome to the forum!
You'll have to ask a hostess or Bill about that...
Bill makes our sig buttons for us so they're all the same size.

Nice to meet you!

Hi there and welcome to the forum! How long were the bulbs dry? Crocus in some areas are taken out of the ground and overwintered and dry out and still come back. There is hope. I am sure with all this rain we are having, they are plenty wet now.

I am down near Centralia, just having moved from Nebraska and really enjoying the weather here even the rain.

It went without water for about six months while I was in Job Corps.

The soil was completely dry and some what solid. I broke it up and with some stones at the bottom of the pot for drainage, re-hydrated the soil. I planted the bulbs that still looked okay tip up. Is that the right way?

Hi, welcome to the forum!
You bulbs may be just fine when they still feel firm. And yes you have to plant them tip up! Well done!

Hi Welcome to the forum
nice to meet you.

Hi!

Welcome to the Forum! Crocus need to be planted with the tip up. Two years ago I threw a bucket of dirt under a bush and last year I had Crocus blooming there. Guess when I was digging in the garden I must have snagged a couple of them and they came up. I don't know if the tips were up, down, or sideways, but they bloomed anyway.

Have a BEAUTIFUL day!

Happy to have you join us!
