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.

I would leave them where they are now. 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

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.

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.

December 26th 1962 temperature went below freezing in the evening

Easter 1963 temperature went above freezing for the first time and it felt
warm.

I remember that one. There was ice 18"/450mm thick on the canal.

I remember digging mobile greenhouse plots wearing shorts, the sun was
out and it felt warm even though it was still below freezing, at the
time we lived in Hastings

I remember '63 because the water in the lavatory pan froze solid
overnight. Then the bottom of the pan dropped out (the ice had cracked
it). Everybody had burst pipes (so did we) so you can imagine how long we
waited for a plumber...

Janet.

The one before that was 1947. We moved to the Isle of Wight on Saturday
March 1st and there was still snow on the ground when we arrived!!
