Thankyou for your solution. I'll check in local nurseries. If i find it, I'll let you know.

Thankyou all for the advice.

I've removed and given away about half of them and have filled in the gaps with bedding plants. Not much sign of the leaves dying back yet but at least there are splashes of colour here and there.

You are a very,very, very lucky bunny to have so many.

 Indeed They are in a north facing bed, never have a glimmer of sunshine and have filled the place.

Sparrows definately do the damge in our garden, They begin with yellow flowers and then move on to pink as a second choice but they also like blue

We have a bird feeder and enjoy seeing the birds so a downside to that.

Went to a local nursery and discovered they are selling plug plants for only a few pence so bought some geraniums and begonias, tiny little things which are going to be bea-u-ti-ful  Also bought three Fuschias and all have been potted up.

Planted some Hollyhocks and some blue things which I don't know the name of. Planted some trailing tomatoes into baskets but am keeping them inside the greenhouse. Moved some Snowdrops.

Looked at the Frogs in the ponds and the loads of Frogspawn. I like Frogs Last year we have a total of two snails so am sure Frogs are very beneficial. 

Light showers and warm sunshine today. It feels like Spring

Thankyou for your advice. I will do as you suggest and plant between them. I will also remove some because the whole bed is FULL of them. I took some out last year and moved to the 'front' garden which has also looked very pretty during the colder weather. Just have so many!......friends and neighbours will be pressed to take some

I have masses of Snowdrops that are wonderful when in full flower but now they are fading fast and I'd like to plant other things in the bed. Problem is, the Snowdrop leaves cover so much ground but I am unsure whether it's correct to chop them off or to let them all die away naturally. That will take ages so what is best to do given that I want to have other plants as the seasons progress? Someone told me to tie the leaves into little knots..is that a good idea?
