Ah Richard, what a bummer. I'd lend you my brand new transport bike if I could.

Sorry to hear about your car Richard. Like you up to the allotment today, but weather conditions not very good, gale force winds, although very bright day. :) busy_lizzie

Feel virtuous after doing a bit of digging. Lovely sensation. Too cold and windy to do much here, could hardly stan up till mid afternoon. Potted up a few plant divisions and found the Fritillaries have begun to grow so moved them into the Alpine House. Joy

Talking of Fritillarias Eric - do I take it you grow these in pots? I have tried growing them in the garden in various places but none seem to come up - it's as if they just rot away. Am I doing something wrong do you think ???

Being presumptious, as one is from time to time, are you talking about snake's head? I planted bulbs in my garden and had no probs. Were fairly sheltered and tree quite near, well drained loam and thrived, multiplying each year. Just lucky, I guess!

Pah, snakes heads are one of my most fave flowers, and I can't grow them in my garden. Lost count of how much money I have spent and how many attempts I have had. I have decided my garden is toooo wet and clay-ee, so if I get anymore bulbs, I shall grow them in pots.

I tried the large ones MB - snakeshead are the little ones aren't they? May be like EJ I had them in a place that was too wet and perhaps they just rotted ???

I got some packs on an offer last autumn (BOGOF) from the garden centre and dotted/planted them in the garden. Have just noticed that they are all coming up. I must have been lucky. Fingers crossed that they survive !

Richard - so sorry about your car.
I planted my snakesheads last autumn and they popped up almost immediately. They are still growing - very leafy, no sign of flowers yet, but I suspect it's too early. They are in a pot.
