Default Spring Bulb Planting

In article , Janice

Hi all. Due to bereavement I haven't had the time or the inclination to do
any gardening, so I haven't planted any spring bulbs yet. So, is it too
late to plant the bulbs now? I've got daffodils, crocus, snowdrops,
anenome, dutch iris, allium.

No, it's fine. I planted some a few days ago. And if you've already got
the bulbs, they're better in the ground than not, so even if you don't
plant them in the next couple of weeks (which would be best), still
plant them whenever you feel able - I once planted a batch of daffs in
Jan which I got cheaply as they had 4inch sprouts in the bag they were
sold in! At the very worst, they'll miss out on a year's flowering, but
will be back to normal the next year,
