Oh! What You have going on?! It's already Spring? They have all woken up: and these bulbs and sprouts flowers. Probably You have a warm earth. It does not freeze as we got a few inches in depth. I don't know the answers to Your questions, because we don't grow these plants. No experience. I would love to see that answer more experienced guys. With the pace of growth, I hope that soon I see Your flowers. @englishtchrivy , Thank You for share Your experience in gardening.
