Spring Bulbs

[mallyh]

my spring bulbs are all popping up and my persimmon are in flower .

wow mally, that is REALLY early. I've seen daffs in gardens at Christmas times but never this early. Are you going to have to plant more bulbs so that you'll actually have SPRING flowers next year?

once the weather cools the bulbs will cease to grow until the spring. If they are in a very wet exposed area you may like to spread dead leaves or other dry matter over them.

the bulbs are in pots but the persimmon is in the ground ,hopefully i'll still have something growing next spring .

theres also a plant with a very long stem up to 3feet with a purple flower coming up all over the garden

I've only just planted my new bulbs, but since I did so, there's been so much rain that I think I had better dig them all up again and give them swimming lessons.

wow do you mean persimmon? I didn't think they grew outside in the UK
