Protecting bulbs from frost
Due to the balmy winter, a lot of my bulbs (tulips, daffs and crocuses) are already breaking well through the soil and the crocuses are starting to flower. Is there a cheap and easy way to protect these all when the later frosts and snow inevitably by Matt Beighton

water those poor souls!
Yes we had snow and the odd bit of rain, but your bulbs, daffs, tulips need water now!!! if you have baskets water them everyday.. you won't be disappointed! Give them a feed once a week, and when they go to seed pinch them off, and continue to feed by BrummieLeperBen

Crocus flowers not opening
ok and they usually just flop. Any reason for this? Crocus will only show their faces if the sun is shining on them. They close up when its dull or night time Not seeing much of mine this year. But the sun is out today (between the snow showers by Swedboy

Abutilon
Morning everyone, snow here in the East Midlands again - where is Spring? I'm growing some Abutilon from seed this year and would like to keep one or two of them as houseplants. Will they thrive and flower indoors? I also planted some Fatsia seeds by grannycool
