Spring Bulbs

JamesOJamesO Posts: 230

Hi

I did some bulbs last year and have added to it this Autumn and planted daffs in ground and also some Irises, Hyacinths, and crocus. Now They have been in the ground for a 3-4 weeks now but the ones in tubs are starting to push through the soil about 2-4 cm in height and it's not even November yet and looking round the garden have noticed some from last year just starting to come up. I live in the North west and it has not been very cold yet is this normally for Spring bulbs? It has been mild Autumn and will they be OK once Winter comes along.

Thanks for any advice.

    Spring bulbs often make an early start in the aurumn, especially if it's mild.  They'll stop growing when the weather cools down and start again in the spring.  Absolutely nothing to worry about.

    It sounds as if you'l have a lovely show in the spring.  Come back and post a photo for us then image

     Hi Thought I would share some early pictures from this year this is my second full year gardening, I love the bulbs and flowers of spring.  In the pictures are Crocus, iris reticulate and winter aconite

    They are lovely, I think spring bulbs and flowering plants give a real mental lift at this time of year and spur you on when the going gets tough.
