Early Spring Bulbs
I planted some spring bulbs about a month ago - planting them at the depth which it said on the packet. They have come through already - some by as much as half an inch. Should I cover them up with compost; move them in to the green house and protect from frost; just leave as they are; or any other suggestion. |

It can't hurt to cover them with compost though. I am sure as can be that they will be fine. Last winter was the hardest, longest and coldest in my life and I lost every "hardy" veg, but the daffies and tulips came up as normal. My established daffs were showing in Sept. this year and I have complete confidence that they will be fine. Best wishes Baz |

So have some of mine and they have been in for more than a decade. They know what's good for them leave them alone. -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |

Meandering around this afternoon, I noticed that we have several clumps of snowdrops up by about an inch. Never remember seeing them before the new year before. -- Roger T 700 ft up in Mid-Wales |
