Re: Autumn bulb planting.
I went a bit crazy at Wilko last month and have lots of bulbs to plant, several varieties of daffs, allium, tulips.
I was thinking of maybe putting them in the raised beds where the veg were growing (or not growing!) in Summer. I'm just worried about the squirrels. On the patio I use diy foil covers which I make from tin foil plates you can buy at the supermarket. This keeps the squirrels out.
Ideally, I would love to plant them in the borders but the ground is still so hard because of the lack of rain recently. I keep waiting for rain but this darned sunshine is all we are getting (grumble, grumble). Still at least my tomatoes are producing a healthy crop as a result.
It's hard work planting bulbs, but it is lovely though when you suddenly see it all come to life in the Spring.
