Hi All,
Would I be wasting my time planting daffodills/snowdrops etc now,is it too late?

GreeBo

Nah, should be fine go for it.
FYI If you are buying bullbs the prices vary a lot from place to place.

thanks greebo,really am a bit clueless!I would have thought gardening topics would have been more popular on boards?

GreeBo

no worries
they come and go, usually gets busier in spring & summer as people start to think about "doing something with the grass" for the summer

Once you get your daffs in by the end of November you'll be fine. Pay attention to the instructions on how deep to sow them though (twice their own length I think) because if you sow them shallowly they won't flower.

an excellent point (and one that I meant to say)
When I started I sowed everything too deep and it wouldnt come up for months (if at all)

Make sure they're deep enough to prevent the jackdaws from digging them out, I planted a hundred-weight of bulbs and our feathery friends had a field day.

Is it also ok for tulips? I bought a load of both a few weeks back but a new baby has eaten all my time - and sleep

Thanks,
