I planted loads of bulbs last weekend, daffs, snowdrops, muscari armerium,
aliums and crocus's to be precise

however they've started growing! Not one or two but loads of them

is this a problem?

No. It's perfectly normal behavior. Most ordinary bulbs come from
areas with dry summers and wet winters, and are actually
winter-growing plants.

Wont they just die in the cold?...

No. They'll be just fine.

..and if so that means they wont come up next year?

Only a few of the usual garden-centre bulbs are frost-tender:
persian ranunculus being one, also the bigger ornithogalums, a
few others. The rest are pretty hardy and can handle winter.


Anything i can do other than plant a load more next month?

Yes: relax and stop worrying.
