Having access to lenders that do âManual Underwritingâ is key, as we often get qualified borrowers for whom we cannot get a âDUâ approval because of an error on a credit report, or some other technicality. DU and LP guidelines tightened up in August, so getting âAutomated Approvalsâ has become more difficult.
May 1, 2006. AURORA - Late spring is when the foliage of spring-blooming daffodils, tulips, hyacinths and iris reticulata dies down. It is time to dig, divide and store or replant the bulbs for next year's bloom. Here's how, according to Gail Gredler, horticulturist with the Oregon State University Extension Service. After the leaves turn yellow, cut and destroy the stems and foliage of the plants.
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.
