Hi!

I'm totally new to gardening - but I'm wanting to try plant some bulbs to
flower in spring in some containers.

All the packaging says that the bulbs should be planted about 10cm apart -
is that true? I've seen some websites where it says to plant them 'shoulder
to shoulder' - if I want loads of flowers in one container, can I really
only plant a few bulbs? I'm thinking of all the typical spring bulbs, like
tulips, daffodils, Iris etc etc.

Also, can I plant some things that flower now, or even evergreen plants in
the same containers or will that stunt the growth of the bulbs? Just to
make the containers look like something all year round?

Can anyone recommend a good website for total newbies like me to get more
'idiot-proof' info like this (so I wont be asking you guys all these idiot
questions!) ?

Wow - lots of questions - Thanks in advance! I'm so excited about starting
this - and I don't want to mess it up!

BJ
