How to enjoy tulips in the garden?

To enjoy tulips in the garden they must planted in the autumn in the full ground or in plant containers.

When planted? 

  • september – beginning of december. The Tulips must certainly six weeks in the ground for the first frost. So that they can develop solid roots. A soil temperature of 5 to 10 degrees is ideal.

Place our tulips in the garden:

  • Plant your tulips in airy, not wet permanent basis. Mix heavier ground (clay) first with sand, before the tulips to plants. Add three parts sand on a part earth.
  • Choose a sunny to half shaded place.
  • Make a hole for the tulpenbol and place the sphere with the pointed side up and the roots to the bottom in.
  • Large bulbs must be planted 20 cm. deep. Small orbs average 12.5 cm. deep. As a general rule, the bulbs should be planted three times as deep as the bulb is high.
  • Plant tulips always in groups, that gives the best effect.
  • Hold approximately 1 cm. distance between the orbs

Care:

Give the Tulip water in order to develop. In periods of frost it is wise to cover the primer, for example with straw or leaves.

A tulip has a flowering period of about two weeks. Create a ‘flowering scheme’ of the various tulips (color and flowering), so that the tulips are flowering throughout the spring.

Is the Bitcoin hype the modern Tulip mania of 1637?

 


The bitcoin is a new currency of the internet: a distributed, worldwide, decentralized digital money. Unlike traditional currencies such as dollars, bitcoins are issued and managed without any central authority.  There is no government, company, or bank in charge of Bitcoin.

The current value of the Bitcoin is possibly a bubble.  The value goes up and down.

 

The same situation occurred to the Dutch in the 17th century when they settled down after their bout with tulipomania, wherein the humble tulip bulb began to sell for prices to make New York Realtors blanch.
