Missed planting bulbs last year and thought it didn't really matter, but you know once Spring comes along you really wish you had. After all the darkness, and soggy leaves I find I am desperate for signs that the garden is waking up again. So with the last of the misshapen tomatoes pulled up, they are never going to ripen now!, G and me stuffed bulbs in their places rather unceremoniously. Alan Titchmarsh assures me courtesy of TV in the day room at work, that bulbs don't need any special soil or compost and can be packed many to a pot so we took him at his word. Bamboo compostable pots in the bargain bin at B and Q looked like they had the right texture to actually take decoration without it all peeling/sliding off. G chose wax candle decorating pens for wiggly lines all ‘round the pot and glass paint pens to draw hearts and flowers at intervals. No help required from me, so we are keeping these ones indoors and taking extra special care of them. The rest will have to fend for themselves......
