Spring is absolutely one of the best and most exciting times of the year.
I finally managed to get out into my garden at the weekend and I was so excited to see some of my bulbs starting to peep through. I was expecting to see some snowdrops - and I was not disappointed. There were loads of them coming up - but I was a bit surprised to see them still quite small.
However - the big news was my Daffs. I couldn't believe how developed they were in places. Some of them were about 2 inches above the ground and there could be a flower before the end of January. Definitely early for the middle of Ireland.
I have others in pots with bulbs and they are coming along nicely - but the ones planted in the ground are always slower. A few years ago I succession planted my posts with crocus, daffodils and tulips. Best thing ever and it guarantees me 3 months of flowers at my doorstep. I will write a blog shortly about how to plant one.
How are your spring bulbs going?
