I have my greenhouse divided into rows and I try to keep the colours separated as much as possible.

Planting in my area is completed by the end of January although it is best to stagnate plantings especially for supply to florists , but I find that by the end of spring the customers go for other types of flowers so I tend to cut my supply to florists at the end of October.As the bulbs don’t all grow at the same time I find I can plant all at the same time and this gives me enough over the time I want to sell them.

I plant around 60 -100 per tray depending on the size and they are planted approx 25cm deep  with the points upwards

Freesias don’t require a lot of nutrient so I provide this nutrient via the watering system as it is needed.

Once the bulbs are in the soil and covered I give them a good watering  and make sure I keep the soil damp to stimulate them to start growing .
