    My Tulips are past it now for this year, do I cut the stalks of now and remove the bulbs ready for next year or is it like Daffs...and you let them grow on so that photosynf, photocinth, photosynthes....that thing the sun and plants do together...to restore their batteries for next year? If so for how long do you let them grow etc etc etc etc...

    C'mon...spill the beans..

    Just leave the bulbs in, and let everything die off that way all the goodness is there ready for next years tulip Extravaganza.
