Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year
I should already have bought my bulbs. ‘Should’, however, is a mild triggering word for me, never one to enjoy the experience of being told what I ought to be doing. Which is all very well, but kicking against the order of things will only get you so far in gardening. Tulips, admittedly, can be planted right up against the end of the year (I may even have sunk the odd bulb in January), daffodils prefer to get settled rather earlier though, if you find yourself in December looking at bulbs you’ve forgotten to plant, it’s better to get them in the ground whatever they are than to watch them rot. I heard a marvellous justification for my tardy approach on the radio last week – the longer you leave buying bulbs, the cheaper they are. And who doesn’t love a bargain?
