Last October I planted about a thousand crocus bulbs in a grass verge along the lane where I live. These are now just showing about an inch high. Is it advisable to fertilise them now with a general balanced fertiliser such as "Growmore" and/or give them an application of potash to encourage flowering? I am wary of allowing the grass too much encouragement, which will start to grow as soon as it is warm enough and compete and overpower the crocus once they have flowered to the detriment of next years success rate. Advice please.

I've never fertlised crocus, nor snowdrops - I just let them get on with it.
I agree with boxtops, just let them get on with it and with any luck, they won't rot away from water-logging.
Allow the leaves to go brown before grass cutting (preferably June)
