When you plant bulbs plant as usual even if in a pot .then lay a price of chicken wire on top peg it down .either covet with soil or leave as it is .the bulbs will grow through and animals will be u n able to dig up the bulbs . You just need to remember where the chicken wire is .!
If I'm growing a handful of bulbs I put them in chicken wire .put on my gloves and scrunch the mesh around the bulbs . Plant altogether.
If i sow some seeds now, or the next few weeks for over wintering will i need to do much to them during the winter? Ie pinching out the tips or re potting? Ive never sown anything in autum and not sure what pinching out means!? Or what will over winter easy?
Whats the advantages of sowing now rather than in spring? Also where should i leave them i have a greenhouse which can be heated or not, two cold frames or just outside
