B&q were selling off all their spring bulbs. I got several boxes of 30 mixed bulbs that were £6 for 50p each and most of them are still firm enough. ;D

I picked up lots of bags of bulbs from B&Q @10p each. The ones I got were good and firm too. All I have to do now is plant them

My problem is that it's a 20 mile round trip to B&Q, so I miss all the bargains - same applies to Lidl.

I didn't get around to any tulip planting in the Autumn - do you reckon I could still get away it - assuming I can find any for sale that is?

Yes, in January - as long as they're firm. They'll flower later, of course!

You know what - I'm beginning to feel distinctly restless to go out to a GC and see what's going on - but not a lot, I suspect. I'll have to curb myself.

I went out to mine at the weekend - I bought a couple of Cornususus but mainly it was quiet of planting material that inspired me

I did go off last week, to replace the violas the pigeons had wrecked, and there was nothing apart from them and some non-flowering primroses and so on. I did get a Veronica 'Trehane' for half-price. So many of their shrubs looked sad - who's going to buy dying plants? I have enough of my one!
