The bulbs will come up where they can. Decide on a plan for planting and if you actually come across bulbs whilst digging the holes - think where best to replant them - so that they will compliment your perennials. Also keep the plan and name the plants on it. Then if you don't like labels - or they get lost (which they always do!) you still have a plan to know where everything is. Some plants disappear completely in winter and it is easy to forget whats there and try to shoehorn something else on top!!

thanks thats great idea about plan will do that .. have just felt overwhelmed by it all so havent done much planting they are quite large beds in the front either side of the drive so am having to get out of my wheelchair and haul myself onto the soil and plant that way .at least its dry and warm much better than wet and freezing when i was planting out daffs and tulips in the late autumn and getting snowed on .
thanks alison
