    What kind of bulbs? Are they planted at the correct depth?
    Virtually all bulbs are hardy and cope with all kinds of weather, all year round  :)

    i actually get all kind of spring flowering bulbs and im new in gardening so im so worried about them  and yes i planted them in right depth

    That's good. They'll be absolutely fine, but if they're spring flowering bulbs, you won't see any green growth until the new year, although some of the earliest ones will start showing before that, depending on your climate and conditions.
    You don't need to worry about snow, frost, ice, rain or anything else either. They're designed to cope with all of that  :)

    No problem. Once they're flowering and growing, you can let us see them, and we can offer further advice about aftercare etc. Most are quite straightforward though  :)

    hi fairygirl ill just wanna ask if should water my bulb regularly ?. i just planted them few days ago so root system is not developing yet 
  • FairygirlFairygirl Posts: 55,117
    No - they won't need anything  :)
    If the ground was rock hard and dry, it's always worth watering before and after, but otherwise, they will look after themselves.
