bulbs throughout the seasons
't need lifting, dividing etc in early Spring, as this would disrupt my seeds. You can plant them now if available but there are not that many to choose from-can only think of nerine and autumn crocus off the top of my head Thanks Geoff. Won't they come up by Jess is in the Garden

Suggestions please..
you want though Sarahlou. Is it 'flowery' or 'green' you're looking for- if you know what I mean! Sweet peas are readily available in GCs etc if you just want something for the summer. Or try cramming it with just one variety - plenty to choose from by Sarahlou67
