Jim SHields asked, >When should I feed my Crocus? Crocus nudiflorus has completely >disappeared after blooming a few weeks ago, but C. cartwrightianus is still >pushing up fresh flowers and has green leaves. I always give my winter-growing bulbs (those that have root growth starting in fall) one feed in October, and then three at 3-week intervals starting in early February. This, along with the nutrients in the soil, seems to suit them. I use a soluble fertilizer applied at about half the strength recommended for perennials. Jane McGary Northwestern Oregon, USA
