Bought Too Many Bulbs

Back from holiday, back in the garden. In September I read an article that advised to buy bulbs early to get the best ones, then store them until ready for planting. I'm not sure why early = best but I had a chance to buy some a month ago so I did. I really did.

I've just planted:

* Hyacinths - 3 in a terracotta pot in the back garden. Should flower Feb/March.

* Crocus - 15 large flowering, white. Planted half in the front borders.

* Snake's Head Fritillaria Meleagris - 24. Just over half have gone in the iron stand (I picked the baby spinach out, it was bug eaten) and the rest are in the side border at the front.

* Tulips - 5 planted in a pot at the front.

* Onions - an impulse buy. Have planted 8 in the tin tub, along with a handful of crocuses.

Have 15 crocus, 5 tulips and, oh, about 40 onions left over and nowhere to put them. My eyes were bigger than my garden. Need to go pot shopping.

Latest Additions: Stand, Willow Planter and Spinach

 

Latest additions to the garden: a 1930s stand (need to treat the rust at some point) and a willow planter that fits perfectly - I love it when a plan comes together! It's getting late in the year but I've sown a few spinach seeds and hope to get some baby leaves at least.
