Lifting Lily bulbs
Am I able to lift my lillies and transplant them at this time of year (September)? Wait until the leaves die back completely, this is usually around November time. They need to photosynthesise to store energy in the bulb for next years growth by mdw84

Are Morrisons bulbs any good ??
Have been looking at Morrison bulbs in my local store.  They are very cheap only £1 for a small bag so wondered if anyone has tried them.  They have all the summer flowering ones -  I was tempted by the spring flowering bulbs in there in the autumn by Lavender Lady

Feed spring bulbs
Adam urges us to "drench---- bulbs with liquid feed mixed into their water". What constitutes a good liquid feed? Depends on the product. Mix the liquid feed in line with the guidelines on the packaging, and water as normal. Hi  Gold1locks!  Thanks by northchiel
