Carol, because the weather is all over the place its hard to say if they will bloom this year. But you can plant them now, about 4 or 5 inches deep. If they don't come up this year they will next year. Most bulds can be planted now.Most plants should be put in now but if May is going to be the coldess month like you said then they could be lost because of cold or frost. At the moment gardening is a gamble. I have sown seeds this year and no sign of them. and others round this area have said the same, yet others in other area's have had no probles. At the moment its pot luck. love Malcolm. xxx Hi all I want to know can i plant Tulips only now have peice of garden in our common here of my own yippee wondering if i can plant bulb of tulips sure some of you have nice flowers in your gardens Love Carol xxxx ----- No virus found in this message.
