When planting bulbs...?

..how do you avoid uprooting them when you plant annuals in the spring and fall? The bulbs I'm planting are daffodils and tulips, which bloom in spring. How do I prevent digging them up when I plant summer annuals and mums in fall?

When planting bulbs...?
Go to Home Depot and buy little flags that they have in bundles,you can even right on them. I'm using mine for the 4th year, they hold up in rain, snow and sun, then just stick them next to where the bulbs are
Reply:it doesn't matter if you do...just put them back in the ground and they will come up in the spring..they will survive..
Reply:Hi there, well that really hard to do, i have daffodils to and when planting some of my summer flowers i did run acroos some of the bulbs so i got the bulb and dug a lil deeper and placed the bulb there and covered it up and then planted my summer flowers on top og them.Then when spring rolled around the daffodils grew around them and came up. I was worried them might not come up but they did. And once summer was here the flowers that i had planted for summer came through as well. So i hope i have helped you. And sometimes when you dig bulbs up like that you can spread them out a lil more to makes you garden look fuller to.
Reply:Typically you plant bulbs deeper than you would annuals. So once the bulbs are done blooming, just make sure you dig only as deep as you need to get the annual roots in the ground. Of course, you really can't plant right on top of the bulbs because you'll still have the leaves sticking up. It's a good idea not to cut the bulb leaves off until they are brown and dead (several weeks) because this is how the bulb is making energy to store for next year's bloom.
Reply:You could purchase those little metal marker signs and place them above each bulb with the name of the bulb on the marker- ie; daffodil, tulip, etc. Or, use a rock. Rocks are apt to get moved around, however.
