Anyone got any useful tips for speeding up ripening of spring / early
summer flowering bulbs planted in grass land? (native daffs, bluebells etc)
The challenge is that the grass gets too long whilst we are waiting for
the the bulbs to show the obvious signs of having ripened-off and when
tis eventually cut it is not a pretty sight. We have been doing the
first cut of the embulbed areas in about June. How can we bring the cut
forward for about 4 weeks without comprising the spreading and
naturalisation of the bulbs?

Anyone got any useful ideas?
