Here's how to store your plant bulbs for next spring

This should be done before the first frost, which normally happens on Nov. 11.

MACON, Ga. — The cold is here to stay, which means your garden now has different needs. Meteorologist Courteney Jacobazzi has information on how you can store your spring and summer bulbs so they can provide color to your garden next spring.

According to masterclass.com, you do this by harvesting or digging up the bulbs after their foliage has died. This should be done before the first frost, which normally happens on Nov. 11.

Once bulbs are harvested, air dry them indoors for at least two weeks before packing them up in a paper bag, reusable bag, or cardboard box.

After allowing the bulbs to dry, store them in a cool and dry place until you’re ready to plant again in the spring.
