Planting Daffodils on a "Rainy" Day


Today in lovely Chicagoland where the winters are six months long, it decided to rain, then hail, then snow. Currently: horizontal snow.

I am longing for my back porch apartment garden, so today we decided to bring a little plant life indoors! After a trip to Ikea for a planter and Lowes for the bulbs I have indoor Peruvian Daffodils.


They don't look like much, but within a couple weeks we should have some really sweet smelling and spindly petaled daffodils!

It's easy to make your own zen-dils.

One Ikea (or whatever) glass planter. About 13" x 4" x 3"
+
3 Bulbs of your favorite Narcissus variety (side note: Peruvians are not really in the Narcissus family although they look similar and can be grown the same way)
+
River rocks - basically the decorative fishbowl rocks
+
Water to just cover the rocks

Place your bulbs in evenly spaced from each other.

That's it! Watch 'em grow...no dirt necessary!
