These benign neoplasms may originate in the cervix and account for approximately 8% of all uterine smooth muscle tumors. They are similar to tumors in the fundus. When located in the cervix, they usually are small, between 5-10 mm in diameter. Symptoms depend on size and location.
A The sooner you get them in the ground, the better. Daffodils, hyacinths and smaller bulbs such as crocus, grape hyacinth and Siberian squill do best when you plant them by mid- to late October. Tulips tolerate late planting better, but it's still best to get them in as soon as possible. Be sure to water the bulbs after you plant them and then about once a week until the ground freezes, unless we have regular rain. Watering is important because bulbs need to start growing roots this fall in order to make it through winter. Once the soil freezes, mulch the bulbs with several inches of straw or leaves.
Some like hyacinth and tulips should be refrigerated for 6 to 8 weeks before planting, so youâll want to get those as soon as nurseries have them in stock in September. Narcissus that are forced for indoor usewill benefit from at least 3 weeks of refrigeration. Keep apples away from the bulbs in the refrigerator. Some bulbs like crocus require more cold weather than we can expect and will have disappointing blooms most years. Look for large bulbs that are firm, with no sign of mildew or mold. Larger bulbs will produce larger and more abundant blooms.
