sink bulbs rehomed

Yes thats true, I'm a devil for losing labels Fran but have been better at knowing what I have and where its planted since I started keeping track in my garden pages on here....Hope you are feeling better now, its a lot cooler now and the rains just started and forced me indoors but the garden is so dry and needs it so mustn't complain...

these bulbs haven't been repotted for a year at least; they were on the list to be done when I got this place, so they had to wait, then winter arrove, and then they were in flower ... I started out with six, I think, from Sainsbury, in a small ceramic pot; there were a dozen when I moved them to the pot, and now there's at least twenty. srue i didn't have that many grape hyacinth! but maybe i just cound't find a plain tag so wrote on the back of existing ones - i need large or long tabs to write on big enough to read later, which does limit me a bit!

once i know what they are, i'll label them properly - maybe label the troughs instead, then note what i put into each numbered trough. eventually they'll go in the ground, or a permanent raised bed or three.

I cut my plastic milk bottles up Fran, that way I can use a permanent marker pen that doesn't wash off, doing that I can make the label whatever size I like, I think that would help you plus its recycling and saving you money, even buying labels adds a bit to our gardening cost, sooner those few pence went on the living things, lol....

that's a good idea, Lincs - I certainly need something bigger than the average "matchstick"!!

I'm already using milk bottle bottoms for small-clothing containers; couldn't think what to do with the tops, so have been throjwing them away, but recently thoguht that they might make mini-planters.

Or, of course, plant tags!
