Spring bulbs coming up - give a hand? I planted my spring bulbs in mid to belatedly september this year....
I planted my spring bulbs in mid to belatedly september this year. I've never planted bulbs before as I am fairly new to gardening and I may hold been a bit hasty surrounded by getting them in the ground. Some of them are growing already - I can freshly see the tips of them starting to come through the soil. What do I do now - I'd approaching them to flower when they were supposed to flower not surrounded by November!! HELP - I hope I don't have to remove them as I hold planted hundreds!!
not much you can do its mother nature .don`t remove them they will flower when they are prepared.now the shoots are growing you can`t do anything but savour them.
Don't worry they will be fine. Some might come into flower hasty but a majority of them will flower at the correct time.
Quite a few plants seem to be out of kilter this year. I hold had snowdrops flowering this month and Hellebores flowering contained by August.
Answers: They should be fine. If you are experiencing warm conditions, they may start to break the surface but will stop when cooler weather begin. You may wish to mulch the growing tips beside some straw hay before the freezing weather comes to prevent them from getting frost interfere with. In spring you can remove the straw or leave it surrounded by place as the bulbs will grow right through this mulch. You must have planted some Daffodil bulbs as this series does this all the time during space heater fall weather. Hope this answers your sound out.
Added info: do not use topsoil to cover them with. The soil microbes will rot the green growth if vanished covered for any length of time.
