Storing daffodils
I cleared out one of the terraces infested with weed this weekend
http://share.ovi.com/media/Muddymike...e.10516?sort=5 and dug out a bucketful of Daffodil and Tulip bulbs in order to cover the whole area with weed preventing fabric and stone. http://share.ovi.com/media/Muddymike...e.10517?sort=5 I have several shrubs grown from cuttings to go in here. Rather than buy in stone to cover the fabric and have to carry it up to the terrace I have tried screening the soil and using the stone that came out. It still needs a bit of sorting, trim the fabric, replace the retaining wall capping etc but overall I am quite pleased with the result. Lets see if I am still pleased in 12 months time The question is how best to store the bulbs and when can I replant them. Mike |

Mike Wow Mike you have really recovered a beautiful garden since you have been there, the change from when you first started posting about it; to now is staggering and lovely. I'm sure you will find a corner for your bulbs, you have plenty of choice after all :-) Judith |
