Bulbs

[Kazz]

Has everyone planted their bulbs or have you still got some to go? I have only because I lost the plot half way through.

And has anyone planted bulbs in tubs? I've done layers this year - exciting eh? Karen http://www.dogweb.co.uk/talkdogs/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif

I left my bulbs in the garden from last year so hope they are going to do as well this time.
I have planted some in tubs too.....mixed ones and in layers. I usually plant some tubs of tulips as well with winter pansies on top.
Last year I planted some dwarf irises in clumps in the rockery.....they lasted 1 day as the perishing slugs/snails stripped all the flowers and leaves:evil:

I like snowdrops - :lol: and Iris's in between daffs, the tubs have now tulips dwarf and normal in tubs with mini daffs with viola's, pansies and heathers on top :)

I like spring but I adore Autumn and then winter :) no point rushing towards tomorrow and ignoring today.;)

OMG you lot are so organised!!!! havent even thought of where I'm going to put mine or what mixture!!! let alone plant them. Ive been put to shame:cool:

This is all double dutch to me I'm afraid :shock: I wouldn't have a clue where to begin :?

Well PK it's like this. You go to your local garden centre and buy things like onions. Only pretty flowers grow from them, you get all sizes of "onions". You then buy a Trowel to dig little holes in the earth to plant the onions in ( a spoon will do though) Then whren spring has sprung (cats have matted again) and the birds are VERY noisey you have pretty little flowers in your garden. (thats only if your horse hasn't taken a fancy to them first):shock:

:lol: @ Jac...sounds a little too complicated for me!

[Jac]

Me too, thats why my garden is a toilet (for Blue)

I was lucky, the house I am in there were loads of daffodils everywhere when I got here, I havent had to plant a thing!:shock: All different sizes and types, It looks lovely when they are all out!:) :)

Sounds lovely Lianne, you must post some piccies of your garden.....

I love to see the daffodils in Spring, I know everything is waking up after the winter.....

It is lovely when the daffs come out! The rest of the time it is a mess! I have weeds bigger than some plants!

[Fran]

:lol: It's just the same here.....well we will look forward to piccies when the daffodils come up!

Over the past few years I have planted tulips, snowdrops and bluebells sometimes they come up other times they don't do so well.

I adore daffodils. I have them in the grass, under trees, in tubs. All sorts too, basic yellow ones big old double ones, teeny little white, fragrant ones and spindly two-tone yellow ones.

Cyclamen are great for this time of year (I think they come from bulbs but I have always put in the flowering plants themselves). They come up year after year, last through the harshest weather and give a real splash of colour in the depths of winter.
