Agree with all above - also take those pots out of those plastic trays and stand them in seedtrays (with holes in the bottom) with a layer of gravel in the trays - they won't drain properly as you have them there.

Yes, but you're not going to water for ages and ages are you? They've got enough moisture in those pots to last for a long time - they've only got very little roots and the roots need oxygen as well as water, if the compost is sodden the roots will drown.

Are those posh all-singing all-dancing watering cans that water your plants by themselves when your back is turned? If so, then we've identified the culprits - slap their wrists!!!

Yes Dove They came and just did a demonstration of how well they work/control the flow of water but to be fair they were showing signs of going light green before the new cans arrived
In fact it was three cans and not two the third came but not used it yet I will put it back in the box until the spring
I'm off to buy some more grit and a new plant tub/pot for my new bulbs (don't like plastic) but I'm a bit short on cash this month so it will have to do
