Grass is now cut ready to rake up.

Once raked up I can begin planting the last Crocus bulbs I've bought. After these are planted thats them all done with around 2,000 in my lawn. Can't wait till Spring to see the flower.

Can't plant the Snowdrops yet as the aconites have not arrived to go with the snowdrops. Can't have 1 without the other.

Next Spring should look nice. Photos when they flower.

Edited.

Grass cut now.

Crocus planted around 150. 8 per hole and a few holes.

Lawn is now full of crocus. Can't wait till Spring to see them all show. Comprehensive Account Security

Be planting my Snowdrops and Aconites as they have now arrived. Only took 8 days to arrive lol.

Need to get my strimmer out me thinks as the grass is a little long for the mower.

Can't wait to plant them. Should be a great show in early spring. Comprehensive Account Security

Planted the Snowdrops and Aconites in the place I wanted now.

Bad news is I lost the 100 snowdrops I bought. I still can't find them so bought more to replace them. Knowing my luck I'll find them when it's too late lol.

This weekend I am hoping to plant the last Daffs and Tulips and Alliums. Never planted alliums before so looking forward to them. Only have 40 for now. I'll see what they are like and maybe get more next year if they turn out nice.

Going to have a great show next Spring especially with all these bulbs in my garden.

Got the Daffs and Tulips and Alliums planted now.

Can't wait for them to grow.

Had gaps 4 feet long 1 foot wide inbetween my gladioli. I have daffs betwen them. So should have a nice long row or daffs with tulips and alliums mixed in.

Also planted a few alliums in 1 of my chimneys I've had for years. Can't wait for them to grow.

Spring will be great for my garden. Should be 1000's of flowers. Around 3,000 spring bulbs planted. I can't wait. Comprehensive Account Security

I hope so. Last year a lot grew and now I've even more bulbs I expect a lawn full. Spent over £1000 just on spring bulbs alone over the last 3 years. So they better grow.

I'm running out of space now for any bulbs.

I do have a plan for a strip of lawn to cover it over with a black membrane so the grass will die back so I can plant 5,000+

wild flower seeds I got that the bees and other bugs will love. Thats for Spring though.

Good luck with the remaining plants you have and yes a refund is good.

Not that I've counted them. No way lol. Comprehensive Account Security

Yesterday while getting out my motorbike I checked my planters and saw what I think are Tulips growing. Yes Spring bulbs showing all ready in November.

I can't get over seeing them so soon. Picture below.



Also still have dahlias growing. See picture below and yes thats my hand in the shot lol.



Never had any flowesrs growing this far into November. Very odd...... Comprehensive Account Security

Just been out to check on my Gooseberries since lastyear and saw new shoots. They seem to have got through the Winter well. More then happy with them.

Hopefully get some gooseberries off them this year. Need a gooseberry crumble with custard.


You can see the brown lumps is my rhubarb coming back after a sleep during Winter. Good start for it. Can't wait for rhubarb crumble and custard.


Bulbs doing well. Tulips, Dafadils and Alliums I think in there.

More pictures soon as I can beat the cold weather. It took me 3-4 mins taking them and ended up freezing. Comprehensive Account Security
