3
00:00:29.980 --> 00:00:33.840
and I are just planting some bulbs so we'll have flowers for the house next spring.

4
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:37.200
Dad, why do we plant spring bulbs in the fall?

5
00:00:37.860 --> 00:00:40.000
Well, Henry, that's just one of nature's ways.

6
00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:44.880
You see, the bulbs have to go through a long winter dormant period so they'll produce flowers.

7
00:00:45.260 --> 00:00:47.040
That's why they bloom in the spring.

8
00:00:47.700 --> 00:00:53.000
Remember last year when I planted bulbs in those big boxes so I could take time-lapse pictures of them?

9
00:00:53.780 --> 00:00:57.800
And then I put them outside and covered them over with a lot of leaves

10
00:00:57.800 --> 00:01:00.840
to keep them from getting too cold during the wintertime.

11
00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:04.240
Keep them just right so that they grow roots.

12
00:01:05.100 --> 00:01:09.600
And while the pond was frozen over, there was a lot of snow on the ground

13
00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:13.840
and you kids are out there shoveling and having a lot of fun with winter sports.

14
00:01:16.260 --> 00:01:19.580
Getting the pond ready so that you could skate on it. Remember that?

15
00:01:29.220 --> 00:01:34.800
While the bulbs are going through the cold winter dormant period, they're growing good strong roots.

16
00:01:43.220 --> 00:01:48.140
And then along the early part of the year, just after Christmas and New Year's,

17
00:01:48.380 --> 00:01:53.020
I went out there and broke through the frozen leaves that were on top

18
00:01:53.020 --> 00:01:56.480
so that I could get down to where those pots were in the big boxes.

19
00:01:57.240 --> 00:02:01.580
Brought the pots indoors to have them in the house for some spring flowers

20
00:02:02.940 --> 00:02:07.980
and take the big boxes down to the time-lapse studio to take pictures of them.

21
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:12.000
But you can't always count on there being nice clean snow all winter long,

22
00:02:12.020 --> 00:02:15.140
so I put some away in the freezer.

23
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:18.500
Remember how glad Mommy was to get rid of those cans

24
00:02:18.500 --> 00:02:21.500
and she had more room for all her frozen food.

25
00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:30.720
Well, the freezer's a good place to keep some snow so you can have it on hand.

26
00:02:31.500 --> 00:02:34.600
And there I'm putting in the last one of those big boxes

27
00:02:35.260 --> 00:02:38.820
and spreading the dirt over to make it nice and smooth and even.

28
00:02:39.860 --> 00:02:43.940
And then all I have to do is to take the snow and spread that on top

29
00:02:44.860 --> 00:02:46.220
and break it up a little.

30
00:02:47.580 --> 00:02:50.560
And you know, it looks just like outside.

31
00:10:27.820 --> 00:10:30.600
I hope you like the pictures of the spring bulbs.

32
00:10:30.900 --> 00:10:31.240
Goodbye.

33
00:10:31.900 --> 00:10:32.340
Bye.
