Forcing bulbs indoors can be a blast!
Some of the easiest do not need a cold period - daffodils and paper
white narcissus. The paper whites "Israel" and "Jerusalem"
have a softer scent than your standard garden center variety. This makes
it easier to be in the same room with them. One planting strategy is to
use an 8" wide pot. Place some stones or pieces of a broken pot over
the holes to allow free drainage without losing soil (a mix of loam, sand
and peat), and place the first layer of bulbs. Make sure they're not touching.
Bury them up to their necks, add a second layer of bulbs. Then cover them
with soil to just over the necks of the
bulbs and within one inch of the rim. Water them thoroughly by placing
the pot in a partially filled bucket of water.
