Further to my thread the other day just started digging up the patch of grass and it has bulbs at the end. Is this still couch grass?

that's not grass, that's a bulb. My guess is Muscari
In the sticks near Peterborough
Apologies on the other thread, I suggested they were couch grass! If you dug up bulbs, I agree with Nutcutlet, they are possibly Muscari bulbs. They can sometimes get very straggly in good soil.
Why did you open a new thread on the exact same topic?
Or Spanish bluebells?
I think the state of the leaves is against that. they're too long and thin and old.

Ok, I must have them too then. Assumed they were Sp.bluebells as I had so many of them last year. Do Muscari spread too?
Fairly certain they're Muscari bulbs ; if you don't want them everywhere :- get rid ! Dug hundreds of these from a local garden in the Autumn ; guess what ?..................they're back again
Spanish Bluebell bulbs are usually white & fleshy .
Ummmm .... yes ... by seed as well as by division ... they will go on and on and on .... just as well they're pretty

It’s not couch grass though is it?
Thanks all for your help. Borderline, having googled Couch Grass I was certain that's what it was too as it looks identical! It was only once digging it up and finding bulbs that I realised it probably wasn't!
