Does anyone know where I can buy snowdrops in the green? Anywhere in
the Bristol area, or Salisbury or Newbury? Or any mail order sites?
Now I can't drive I am limited but a friend wants some too and is off
to Salisbury and Newbury tomorrow!
I can't go touring garden centres and have had to give up most of my
gardening mags as my sight makes reading difficult.
Any help gratefully received.

I bought mine on EBay, just after my wife pointed out an advert where
there were double the quantity for the same price. Still they are in now.

Thanks Broadback. Why didn't I think of Ebay!

Thanks Janet
It looks as if they can spare a few, but pricey!

Pam,
Shipton Bulbs sell snowdrops in the green by mail order:
http://www.bluebellbulbs.co.uk/
Lots of other goodies there too. We found them very efficient
although I have to say none of our wild daffs have come up but we
think that's something at our end, not theirs. We're hoping they are
just getting settled in and will amaze us next year!

Thanks to all for info and web sites.
I'm very concerned to buy only from reputable sites having heard
warnings about bulbs stolen from the wild and private land etc. Not
sure what to make of Ebay!
The last few years I have had a patch of snowdrops multiplying and
seeding in my front garden. This year there are NONE in this area,
though a few elsewhere nearby. The ground is not disturbed, as there
is vinca minor over the same area, but not too thickly. Nothing has
dug them up.
What can have killed off all these snowdrops since last year?
Should I avoid planting new ones in the same soil?
I just love these first signs of Spring and have missed the show I
have had in the last few years.

To be treated with suspicion some of the time. Someone tried to 'sell a
Canon Ball' off the Mary Rose. The Mary Rose Trust was informed and the
gentleman had a visit from Mr Plod :-)) Made the Evening News :-))

Mike
he's the one who has a cat crap free garden :-))

I keep old messages in my Agent inbox and have realised that I started
a thread with the same title 4 years ago so this year's messages have
got mixed with those. Therefore a few of my replies are to the old
ones! Apologies.
