Bulb planting

A couple of dry days has enabled me to get some more tulips planted before the weather, once again, turns wet. November is the ideal time for tulip planting but the month can go by at an alarming rate so get your bulbs in as soon as you have the time.

















My trusty trowel, designed to the specifications of Christopher Lloyd at Great Dixter by Sneeboer, is the ideal tool for the job. A nice long handle and narrow blade punctures the soil effortlessly. Great for planting in tight spaces and pretty nifty when a spot of weeding is needed too.
