The latter, I am afraid. Or you can donate them to some suitable
boring patch of long grass and buy again next year.


Regards,
Nick Maclaren.

If you are able, leave the leaves on but turn/lay them out of the way and
plant some bedding plants on top. Then next year, plant on top of the bulbs
something which is going to be growing, but out of the way, ready to take
over in April 2006 :-))

April 2006 a long way off? Don't you believe it, I have just done a booking
form for the British Korean Vets Association Reunion for October 2006!!
everything all organised :-))

Well, I now have your posting four times, Mike!
So perhaps the problem is your end.
