hey, I am 43 and my neighbor where I grew up had one of these trees. We used to rake their leaves for them and jump into the pile, also we would have monkey ball fights with the seeds. Throwing them at each other. But, I never knew that it was called a sweet gum tree. I thought it was called a maple tree. we did not know what the seeds were called so we just named them monkey balls. Oh the memories us six kids had with that tree. ... View related article.

What do you mean when you wrote, "If you want bulbs to bloom south of zone 8, you'll need to cold treat the bulbs (in the refrigerator) for 4-6 weeks before planting or buy bulbs pre-chilled." I live in Southern California. Does this mean I can trick the bulbs into thinking they went into a cold season by placing them in the fridge for 4 weeks and then plant them and they will bloom this season in April or May. The reason I am confused is because I was at the store the other day and they were selling bulbs. I thought bulbs needed to be planted in the fall meaning September in California. It is March. I would love to have pots full of bulbs next month or the month after but, I thought it was too late and I missed the planting season this year and would have to wait till next fall to plant for a bloom in next spring. Please if you can clear all this up for me, I would be greatly appreciate it. ... View related article.
