Spring bulbs
Has anyone else found that their Daffs, and other bulbs are beginning to emerge too early. Will their growth slow down? Yes and yes. If we get a cold spell they'll stop or slow down and wait for spring to start again. It's worth going out by Rose lady

Talkback: Planting bulbs in lawns
I have only planted bulbs in pots to prevent our dog from digging them out of the grass ;) It's not my dog digging in the lawn that bothers me, but the squirrels! They are burying nuts everywhere – in pots, borders, and in the lawn. They haven by Lu
