Hello Carl

Funny who turns up in Usenet, ain't it?

'ello Simon! It is indeed! :-)

CI Actually, while I think about it, can someone answer the
CI same question with regard to tulips (in another bed)??

Same with all bulbs, as far as I know. They rely on stored energy to
put out enough leaves to generate more energy. Then they flower, seed
and go dormant until next year. You can move them safely in the
dormant period.

That's great. We plan to be here for a couple of years at least, and
that makes it worth doing what needs doing to make it look the way we
want it to.

In reality I've moved a lot of daffs this year which had leaves and
some in flower. A good watering in and they carried on as if nothing
happened. (I needed to remove the flowerbeds they were in)

That's also worth knowing. I don't think I'm going to need to do anything
quite that drastic (the previous tenant seemed to be of the "don't change
it" school wrt the garden).

Hope you're both well.

Not too bad thanks - Helen is a little under the weather at the moment -
she's picked up a tummy bug from somewhere, and I've still got the heart
condition, but we're doing OK.

And you?

Carl
