Posted on HJ last year about 4 rose bushes we'd been given for our anniversary.
Lots of good advice resulted in me pruning them. ( not a clue what I was doing. ) All 4 are looking really healthy this year after a winter in the snow. masses of healthy looking leaves. So, thanks all who advised. Or should I say ' Thanks a bunch ! '
Now, me Tulips. Really big healthy yellow and almost black flowers. SWMBO planted them in 2 tubs and protected the bulbs with grated coal-tar soap....the Squillos don't like it.
The yellows have dropped their flowers now but the blacks are still flowering. I've never seen Tulips this big, most of them are between 2 and 3 feet high.
So, what do I do with them when they're over. The pots will be planted up with something colourful, but what do I do with the tulips ?
Nice little tip in the paper, Next year, plant your daffodil bulbs in a hollowed out beetroot.....you'll get red daffs ! Must try it !
Come on Pat, lets be 'aving you !
Old Ted, the non-gardener.
