Friday is a BIG day for us over at Tootsie Time…(ok, just me…there is no one else there…lol) It’s a big deal because it means it’s PARTY TIME!!!!

Fertilizer Friday is the day of the week than an ELITE group of gardeners from all around the world get together, snap photos, link up and Flaunt Their Flowers!!!

If you are new to Tootsie Time and Fertilizer Friday, I just know you are asking yourself…”How do I join?”
Well…it’s easy really. Here’s all you need to know to become a part of this great group of gardeners, bloggers and friends:
If it is spring or summer where you live, you need to snap a few photos of what you have growing, blooming or just love to look at that is of the plant variety…if it is winter where you live, you may post past favorite photos…or indoor plants…whatever you like.

The only criteria is that it is a plant or something growing!

You do not need to use fertilizer to participate in this party, but if you do, this is the reminder to fertilize weekly!
All I ask is that: Your post must include the logo above and/or a link to Tootsie Time, or the linky will be deleted.

So….I would like to invite each and every one of you to join in and share your photos over at Tootsie Time!

Spring arrives in my northern greenhouse in late January as long as we have at least 4 hours of sunshine in a day.  This is when my bulbs that I’ve brought in for the winter usually start to show some green.  One of my favorite containers that I wintered over this year was my mammoth elephant ear plant.  As the plant began to emerge this spring I noticed there were a few new shoots popping up.  This is when I decided to take a look at the bulb in the container only to find the mammoth had given birth!

I had received this bulb last spring from a friend of mine who knows  I’m a huge fan of foliage.   This bulb other wise known at the Colocasia esculenta, is a quick growing , dramatci, tropical that I prefer to grow in containers but can go directly in the ground in most garden zones.      As you can tell in the image above taken in early summer when the rest of my porch containers are just starting to take  root in their new containers  this plant is already putting on a show!

What are your favorite bulbs to divide and enjoy each spring / summer season?
