Planting Bulbs.

Hi everyone,will you be planting any this year?...I missed out last year,so bought some tulips from Lidl,when do you plant them?..

I also would like to buy a load of daffodil,I love watching them pop up through the winter,..what are your favourite bulbs?.

Re: Planting Bulbs.

Tulips, lots of them in many different colours. I have a great system that stops the squirrels. Foil covers.

Re: Planting Bulbs.

The squirrels eat your bulbs ?

Re: Planting Bulbs.

I've just dug out some lily bulbs that were tiny when I put them in but now are massive. Waiting for them to dry out a bit then will store them away for winter and replanting in spring.

Also from the same place I removed some tulip bulbs, they've been replanted elsewhere.

I do have some crocus bulbs coming, free gift from one of the online plant suppliers I use.

Re: Planting Bulbs.

No bulbs here, I find they are over too quickly.
I have planted lots of scented dwarf wallflowers, cream and orange and primulas. They should flower for weeks

Re: Planting Bulbs.

Yes daffodils. Lots of them. I usually get 80 per year.
Maybe some tulips. YES squirrels and chipmunks uproot them to eat so even though they are supposed to multiple, sometimes they don’t. At least not here.

Re: Planting Bulbs.

I never thought you had to dig up lily bulbs,Nicol,do they get bigger each year?..if you dig them up?

I do remember though,leaving tulips in a tub,expecting them to come up the next year,the leaves came up,but no flowers,any idea why?..

Re: Planting Bulbs.

I love wall flowers,and yes,they last a very long time.

Re: Planting Bulbs.

Annie and Bratti,I would love to see your gardens,in the spring,I bet you both have a beautiful show.

Re: Planting Bulbs.

I usually just plug them int light fittings......................
