GROW… spring bulbs
Now is a good time to revisit the potting shed and sort out the last of the autumn jobs. Clean pots with a hard-bristled brush and get ready to refill with fresh compost for planting spring bulbs to ensure a wonderful rush of floral colour early next year.
This is also an opportunity to pot up forced bulbs for Christmas flowering. Favourites such as crocus, narcissus and grape hyacinth can all be planted in individual pots and brought inside to decorate mantelpieces or shelves. Select
