I had a break down and just did a major order of different lily bulbs again. I already have nearly 300 daffs, tulips, and hiacynth coming....this was not a good year for the garden timing but I have hope that next year will be.
Too, I think (here) winter here will be relatively mild and short because nuts are small and not nearly as profuse as usual. Like birds know when rain is coming, plants know what winter will bring I think. Rough years there are many more seeds, nuts, wild fruit, and pinecones the fall before.
What's happening in the UK Neil?
