Thanks so much, drdawg. They are in full sun--I have south-facing fire escapes, so the light is great. It's so helpful to know the pot size/# of bulbs that worked for you. As
@weedwacker and
@leftwood sagely pointed out, I really crowded my bulbs... Not again!
I planted them on October 5th, which was over a month before the Farmer's Almanac estimated frost date of 11/12. Then I got really worried because we had a long warm spell and they sprouted fast and grew over a foot tall before it got properly cold.
I know you were unwittingly pulled into this thread, but do you mind telling me what kind of soil you used in your containers? I used Miracle-Gro's Performance Organics Container Mix because it was great for my tomatoes, but I think it might have been too heavy.
Thanks again to everyone who replied so helpfully. Pics will arrive soon!
