What do I need to do to be sure my Freesia bulbs grow?

I've never planted flower bulbs before, so I'm not sure how to care for them. The package just says plant April-May, bloom June-August. I loosened the dirt, dug holes about 2-3 inches deep, dropped in the bulbs and covered them and watered it. Now what? Do I need to water every day...fertilize...do anything special??

What do I need to do to be sure my Freesia bulbs grow?
First, I wouldn't water everyday - unless it's very hot out, and then only enough for them to get a "drink". Also, they tend to like alkaline soil... I put a couple of websites for you to look at below...the second one is more on "how to" help. Take a look!


Happy growing!
