My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

carrying over TB bulbs?

19 years ago

I just got back into Tuberous Begonias this year and want to check on carrying over the bulbs (this is MN). I've just left them in the pot in past years with so/so success. In reading on container gardening I think my mix may be considerably on the heavy side so am thinking of unpotting the bulbs and carrying them over in bags with sawdust. The bloom rate is fading a bit tho still good. Should I A/ let them catch a light frost to kill back the foliage, B/ just cut off the tops dig the bulb now and let it sit a few days then into the sawdust, or C/slug the pots into the basement new til the top dies back, or D/ something else entirely? Realizing there are likely many approaches I'd appreciate your suggestions.

Will
