Summer and Winter pots
"Martin Sykes" wrote "pat" wrote Due to my and disability, I am considering keeping separate winter pots (eg for daffs) and different pots for a whole host of summer bedding. I plan on leaving the daffs to die off in their pots during the summer months. Would this be OK? Put everything in one pot so they flower through the year and then you won't have to move the pots at all. The stuff which is coming up will help hide the foliage of the things that are dying down. You could have a few siberian iris then daffodil then tulip then gladioli and have the whole lot growing up through low greenery such as variegated ivies to give a bit of all-year-round interest. I'm not sure why separate pots would be easier for you unless you're planning on leaving the 'dead' pots next to the 'live' ones. Martin & Anna Sykes I tend to disagree here. Bulbs dying down look so dismal - especially in pots ! I'm assuming that Pat has someone to move the pots around ? I have masses of bulbs in pots, which I hide away behind the dustbins during summer. They get an occasional watering if its very dry but no other special treatment. I used to take them up, dry them of and repot, but leaving them in situ works just as well :~)) Jenny |
