Decamped to garage because of hail, and, with door open, and emptied a hanging basket of Apricot shades into my wheelbarrow.

They were plugs last year, so left them to form corms, only also found over 2 dozen vine weevil in there. gggrrrrr!

Do birds eat flatten vine weevil?

Hopefully 15 corms will start to sprout as I start them off in fresh compost in a tray
