Perhaps I should be using a bulb planter and leaving hard packed earth around them. rusty duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12238493821002258459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5799638417693921581.post-19125652076414821322012-11-21T11:14:31.170+13:002012-11-21T11:14:31.170+13:00the cuby poet: It's turn and turn about this s...the cuby poet: It's turn and turn about this sharing of the seasons. Watching Northern Hemisphere blogs helped brighten my winter too -even if you did have it pretty wet this year!<br /><br />John Gray: It does indeed - a bit of a maverick in the local architectural vernacular. My mother was attracted to it in 1962 because it was like a solid English farmhouse (she didn't trust all these timber jobs), oh, and it had the luxury at the time of a flush toilet!<br /><br />rusty duck: I am wondering what with your mouse problem and a loss for me of some nice white jonquils that I transplanted into loose leaf-littery ground, if the mice can't dig easily in my precominantly heavy soil. Do you have any clayey patches or silt loam, where you could establish bulbs?<br /><br />Susan Heather: I have left a wee drift under fruit trees to mature uncut. It's such a small area and easy to tackle if it suddenly dries out and to my mind it just looks like a nice woodlandy hem.<br /><br />Cro: Keep it up the-other-Lady M.
