I am going to guess you kill them with kindness. Too much water. Perhaps poor drainage.

I cannot imagine that you killed them. If the bulbs are hard they should be just fine.They seem to regrow when they feel like it but do like when the spring gives them a bit of warmth.

Yes. With their shoulders above the soil. I love them in pots and put them out for the summer. I rarely repot unless the soil shrinks.

I no longer buy much in the way of plants- I grow my own. One thing I did learn was to never buy plants in bloom. They seemed always to be weak and stunted in the garden.

I would clip off the buds.

You may remember from an old post that I hybridized Amaryllis bulbs many years ago. I had potted them all up together and left them that way for any years. Last summer I repotted the whole lot of them, giving some of the small lingering bulbs more room and a better chance to bloom. Some bulbs...

I did not see that name. A big NO the GW.

I go by the "If it looks too good to be true,"

Another note. The tomatoes were not any sweeter than grocery store tomatoes. A quick google told me Epson salts in water would improve their sweetness. It could be that we were too anxious to pick them and they were not red enough. A professional expert I know from a local forum said ES was...

I think that I forgot to show you these. I have 3 toddlers that are often with me or stopping by for a quick tomato. I grew potted Veranda tomatoes by Burpee the last few years. It is just to get a head start on my garden crop. Well the little ones love to pick them and pop them in their mouths...

I am honored to have my advice acceptable to an ALASKAN!

Not long. It will send out roots in the soil. It may not bloom next year because of its' cannibalization. Let in grow putting it outside in the pot in the summer. Fertilize it to rebuilt the bulb for next time. Let the leaves grow lush.

Ha! Thanks. I saw it but it did not register in my brain right way.

I enjoy it all.

Yea. Thank him anyway.

Are you in any danger of the flooding?

If you want large, try Exhibition.

Onions from seed grow really big for me.

Our seasons and climates are so different, I hope I did not lead you astray. But you were the reason I started some tomatoes in September, planning for ripe tomatoes in my greenhouse for early spring. I have green cherry tomatoes already and my toddler grandchildren are shaking with excitement.

Lovely photo.
