Reserve Your North Georgia Mountain Spring Break Now

Spring is just around the corner. Yeah, yeah… I know what you are thinking, “How can I think of spring when I am chilled to the bone in the middle of winter!?!” Well, spring IS just around the corner, and NOW is the time to make your reservations in the North Georgia Mountains for the most spectacular, colorful, and rejuvenating get-away.

Every spring around March, the North Georgia Mountains start to turn out some of the most vivid and assorted forest wildflower displays anywhere! Along the mountain streams, roadsides, trails, rocks, and peaks, thousands of wildflowers make a collage of pastel and brilliant colors. Note that the earliest blooms begin at the lower elevations and progress during the season to the higher elevations. The stunning flowering rhododendrons are particularly magnificent and a major spring attraction.

So where exactly should you go to enjoy these stunning and magnificent spring sights? Drive through the Coosawattee River Resort in Ellijay, Georgia to take in all the beautiful spring foliage and wildlife. The Coosawattee River Resort features hundreds of miles of driving adventure all within the gated resort. Drive up to the top of the highest points of the resort take in the breathtaking sights. Or perhaps exploring the rivers and streams throughout the property is more your style. The resort features six riverside parks with picnic tables, charcoal grills, fire-rings / pits, and restrooms. What a wonderful opportunity for some picture taking, picnicking, and spring kite flying!

Well, you ponder, how exactly can one get into this gated resort? Stay at The Villas at The Coosawattee River Resort and have the accessibility of all the resort’s features at your fingertips. The Villas offers a variety of accommodations (cabins, villas, A-frames, condo units) in the most impressive locations in the resort. Mountain and river side views present picturesque outlooks for soaking up all the spring sights and sounds. Throughout the property, abundant amenities are easily accessible, ranging from exercise & weight room, game rooms, indoor (open year round) & outdoor (open Memorial Day to Labor Day) swimming pools, kayaking & tubing, camp sites, river parks, miniature golf, horseshoe pits, tennis courts, and basketball courts.

Also, location within the resort is of great importance: (1) If Blue Ridge mountain views are your interest, stay at the Water Tower or Recreation Center Villas. Viewing the spring blossoms is perfect from these villas. (2) If your agenda calls for spring water sports, fishing, or relaxing by the rippling river, A-frames, Condos, or Canoe Park Villas are your choice. (3) Young families, exercise enthusiasts, and pool goers are within walking distance of the Recreation Center by renting the Recreation Center Villas. (4) If you want to see local and nearby attractions in addition to enjoying the spring attraction inside the resort, staying in the Water Tower, A-frames, or Condos is the best bet as each is minutes from the gate and major highways.

Are you ready to kick up your feet next to a fireplace at night, warm your face in the spring sunshine during the day, and rejuvenate your spirit? The Villas are only a short drive from Atlanta and have all the wonderful features of the surrounding East Ellijay: golfing, wine tasting, horseback riding, antique shops, and so much more!

Gardening Bulbs - Proven Planting Methods Of The Flower Bulbs That Will Blossom In Spring

If you want bulb flowers to blossom in spring, you need to plant gardening bulbs in September or October, and for sure before first light morning or night frost. This rule is correct for Northern hemisphere and Southern hemisphere where there are such things like night or light morning frost.

During selection of the bulbs for your garden pay attention on the size of bulbs. In most cases follow this rule: the bigger the bulb the better blossom! If you are buying bulb tuber - its size is defined by its diameter, not its height.

Most bulbs must be in a dormancy condition, but some of them, like Crocosmia, are an exception to the rule - its bulbs can be sold with leaves. Gardening bulbs must be free from damage with clean surface. Stem of the bulb must be solid and without signs of roots and rottenness. If bulb is soft and its stem is soft as well, if you can see sprouts, and surface of the bulb is shrunken - it means, that this bulb is low quality and you will not grow good plant from it.

Each bulb plant blooms in certain period of time and if you pay attention to this – you will get pleasure of blossoming bulb flowers from the very first moments of the spring.
Galanthus is the first bulb flower that starts blooming. Crocus, Narcissus, Chinodoxa and the early Tulips will follow after them. Muscari, Tulips, Fritillaria start blooming in April and May. Allium usually flowers from the middle of May and till end of July.
If you choose you bulb flowers correct – you may admire the scenery of the blossoming garden for several months – from the very end of winter and till middle of the summer.

You need to make soil light thoroughly before the planting, and if in need - add some compost. Then, using bulb planter, dig the hole and put bigger flower bulb in it (in order to set it straight); it is possible to sow smaller bulbs.

There is a rule, regarding to planting depth: gardening bulb must be planted in a depth, twice the size its height. Flowers that have bigger bulbs, like Narcissus, Tulip and Hyacinthus, planting depth must be from 15 to 20 centimeters. For flowers with smaller size bulbs, like Galanthus or Crocus, planting depth must be about 5 -10 centimeters.

You need to make bigger distance between bulbs that bigger the size, than for smaller bulbs. Big gardening bulbs should be planted in a distance of 12 centimeters from each other and the smaller bulbs – about 5 – 7 centimeters from one another.

Sandy soil lets water through very well and from the other side clay soil stays wet for very long time. Gardening bulbs do not like when they are kept in wet conditions, so if such a case, you need to think about good flow-out of the water.
It is possible to make clay soil more airy and light by adding sand or compost there. You may add small – size gravel into the hole before putting a bulb there.

After planting bulbs, you need to water them straight away – this will make growing roots faster. The faster roots will appear – the stronger and more stable will be bulb before cold and wet season and winter time.

When autumn rains will start – you need to stop watering your garden, of course. If there is strong frost and there is no snow cover, you have to cover planted gardening bulbs by leaves, fir branches or straw.

Where are some nice Cherry Blossom sites?

I am helping a friend plan her wedding but here's the issue. I have NO IDEA where an outdoor venue is that would have Cherry Blossoms in bloom for early spring. We are talking about Mid April. We are in Texas and it would be great if we could stay in-state.

That's a tall order. I'd start with any botanical gardens, and go from there. If they don't have them there, at least they could direct you--they'd have the knowledge.
