The nice thing about bulbs is that they grow on their own and you really don't have to do much gardening with them. You can have them in a flower pot, Watery and not be worried about allergies. I do have to take an antihistamine everyday and shower after working in my garden but it is worth it to me.
I live where it is warm all year long, npixelz. My flowers fortunately bloom year round and only once in awhile get frost bite damage. I used to live where it got cold...really cold...but don't want to do that again.
