Is it only me...

I think bulbs are like anything else .... the interest comes 'in time'.
I wasn't interested in them for a long time and a few years ago i got interested - a bit like me and the Dahlias now - not interested until a couple of months ago and now want a collection !!!!

If you picture bulbs as tall Daffodils and Tulips bending or breaking in the winds try looking at the dwarfs and miniatures .... there are some gorgeous things out there.
I wrote a blog a few weeks ago showing which dwarfs and minis i'd just bought !

In 'My Garden' there's a picture of my favourite ever tulip 'Tulip Saxatilis' ..... see if you like that :)
Come to think of it, you might hate it !!!!!

I dont think i could ever hate something in the garden, even creeping buttercup which is everywhere is pretty hehe

will have a look,

Oh heck Mookins....we really are going to have to try to convert you to bulbs....they give months of colour, from Jan through to May, if you choose the right varieties. I'm on a mission now to try and get you to change your mind,lol.
Off to write a blog now, in praise of bulbs....:)) xx

hehehe
here we go again
I think it was Louse and Spritz that finally got me into clematis, but bulbs...nah they just dont do it for me

x x x

Lol....oh they will...:))

LOL :)

I'm not greatly into bulbs but I do love daffodils in the spring, the yellow is so bright and cheery, also little ones like pink and blue chinodoxia and crocus....and hyacinths....and ...well maybe I am into bulbs after all (I've just convinced myself!) LOL

i didnt use to be bothered eith jen but i have got a few this year as i hate being left out lol, soive put a few in my raised bed where i could find room, and some in pots, but do i water the pots or let nature see to that ? um someone help me there, anyway whats this feel a bit nauseaus jen ! umm your not are you :o)

LOL! Jen, you've set Di off! I did the same when I said I wasnt into daffys!
The burning bush is gorgeous!!

Oh, Mookins - we really will have to sort you out, won't we - well done Di - a very good start!

I'm more concerned about the nausia, any answer Jen? Hu? Hu?

hehehe what are you like... no I am not pregnant hehehehe

Most of the family have had a sick bug for the past few weeks, both the inlaws sisterin laws 3 kids and my mum and lil Cody so think it maybe my turn, although I may just be having sympathy nausea

now peeps(Ian and sanbaz) stop talking about that if it happens I will hold you two responsible.....thats sounds really weird hehe
but will blame you for talking it up
now Im going to have a good read through the seeds book and spend money I dont have hehehe

I put bubble wrap in my greenhouse, no heating but i also besides putting bubble wrap up,i've got shelving with covers on as well so all my plants and seeds etc should be really warm, as for bulbs Sandra i let nature look after them, usually water them when i first put them in but thats it then.

I can just imagine that conversation with your other half, Jen! LOL!
"Darling I'm pregnant, & its Sanbaz & Ian's fault!"
Hee hee!

hehe try to get out of that one!!
