Susan's in the Garden

ATTENTION! If you’re on my Blog page and see this “Note from Susan,” scroll below it for access to all my posts… and there are LOTS! 

Sept. 24, 2026 _ Hi, everybody! While I can’t believe it’s fall already, I have to admit it’s my favorite time of year. That’s probably surprising when you consider how much I enjoy growing veggies but I just love the glorious fall colors and pleasant weather.

It’s time for my next video, and the photo is hinting at the topic! Tips for Choosing & Planting Fall Bulbs is the topic. That pretty tulip is a species tulip named ‘Clusiana’. It’s still just a bit early to plant them here in Spokane, Wash., but I do have a bunch of tips to share with you. These include my favorite bulb catalog, why some gardeners aren’t able to buy alliums, when to plant bulbs, and what to do when they’ve finished blooming in the spring. I hope you’ll enjoy it and that you’ll add more bulbs to your garden. After all, they’ll be a wonderful sight when spring gets here.

And speaking of veggies, remember to visit the Grow Vegetables section that I created for my website. It is absolutely packed with useful information and tips on all of the most commonly grown crops. Click on the link above or look for it in the menu bar on any page.

Be sure to check out my Amazon store for the gardening products I use and recommend. The 3 books I’ve written are in there, under the “Susan’s Books” category. I receive a small commission but that won’t impact the price you pay.
