Freesia Bulbs

after planting and in summer if the ground is dry but do not waterlog. After the plants start to grow add some general purpose fertiliser. (In cold areas it may be necessary to lift in autumn and store in a frost free place over winter). Hope this helps by The Artist

tulips not flowering..

in the soil year after year and should be lifted once the leaves die back, then stored dry until the autumn. On the other hand, if these are new bulbs planted in 2011, then they should have flowered. Planting bulbs too deeply or too shallow may have stopped by gardenfantic

Talkback: Harvesting potatoes

I did wrong? Hello Alan! My lovely crop of Rockets will not need to be stored after all because the later liftings have all got regular sized holes in them. It is not wireworms as holes are bigger so I think it is millipedes. There are no beasties by Antonia

greenhouse woes.

the leaves etc-it is thecold/damp conditions in the greenhouse that do that-the main thing that they don't like -far better in my opinion to lift the plants, shake off most of the soil,remove most of the leaves and store in pots in a cool dry frost free place by peter privett

Talkback: Great value dahlias

I too grow these single dahlia bedding flowers from a seed packet. I intended to lift the tubers last autumn but the weather was so bad I had to leave them in. They all survived which is more than can be said for the slugs and snails which attacked by Jim Ebling

A bulb for all seasons

and then pots for summer, you can simply lift the spring bulbs after they've flowered and the folliage has died back, store them for autumn then plant your summer bulbs in the same pot. get plastic pots that fit inside your large one. Plant up one for spring by Tina Duffill

bulbs in pots

give it some food) or when it dies back take it out of the pot and store it in the shed til planting time comes round? Hi nut, I have a lovely little single Iris in a pot that has been coming up for years with complete neglect. Mine probably could do by nutcutlet
