Once again, they should be up and flowering, and my winter aconites have gone. They grow wild round here, as far as I know the soil is little different, so why does every one I put in cark it?

That's inspired me to look at the soil - the RHS reckon they aren't too fussy, but prefer alkaline, which ours is. Bother, nothing there.
