I am so disapointed this year with my bulbs some are from last year, never mind at least i have some colour at last

The Hyacinths are not brilliant either this year.

But at least my Camelia has started to come good.

The bulbs coming up in my garden are stunted and squashed by the weight of snow we've had, but sooooo welcome. The cats like sitting on them, too. None of the ones in pots have even got as far as buds yet, but they're coming, they're coming! These are beautiful, even if they are last years!

This is my first year trying out bulbs here. We see daffs and 6" tulip foliage down in the valley, but we have to wait a week or two before seeing any colour at this altitude. :o(

Sometimes it can be disappointing, if it's not as good as the previous year, ..... but you've still got a nice show there Sue. I think even one daffodil on it's own is chereful :o)
Do you feed your bulbs Sue ? Sometimes I give them tomato feed before the foliage dies back, and I sprinkle bonemeal around them aswell, in the hope it will help.
