Majeekahead's Blog

Wonderful! What a nice surprise for you. I haven't got any in flower yet, but someone will have I bet!

Mine are still a couple of weeks behind yours. But I cant remember the names of them (Typical). Ive put loads of tulips in pots this year. It's something I've promised my self to keep a record of what I plant where and when. Thats why this site is so great as I am slowly listing my plants and adding my own pics to them.

I don't know majeekahead - but I do know ours are nowhere near it - but then this is Scotland.

I have some in flower in a pot outdoors, I did remark to my husband the other day that they seemed to have appeared really early!

Oh.. and I am much further north in Yorkshire!

yes i think it is much earlier than normal is'nt it - what variety are your Andrea?

Cant tell you sorry, one of my downfalls which I must correct is planting things and not making a note of the name!

I am going to sound smug and organised - I'm not, really! Last year, as I was so awful at remembering the names of what I had planted - and where; as well as discovering and joining GoY, I bought myself a 5-year Gardening Journal (from ebay but available easily in book shops and Garden Centres) and now, every time I plant anything in the garden, I note it down in the journal. It really helps, except of course I can never remember which month it was - but leafing through is interesting in itself. I also note it down when I cut something back and there's a space for weather, too. At the back are pages for your 'wish-list' and where you saw the plants, useful Nursery addresses, books etc . An excellent buy! I do recommend it! It's supposed to stop you having bits of paper all over the place.....I still have those, but not as many as before.

I love tulips one of my favourites. My parents have some tulips out, my mum pointed them out in suprise the other day. I dont have any planted yet in my garden.
