    I finally broke and needed snowdrops in the garden! There's a few places that look so bare in the winter and I just wanted a little something in there to cheer it all up. So now I have a few heathers and a couple of hundred snowdrops, planted in the green :) Very much looking forward to next year already lol

    Anyone else planting snowdrops?

      No Loofah,

      Mine are through and a good show they are under my Oak tree.
      I have a layer of leaf mould to protect them through the worst of the weather and will plant some more when they are in the green.

      Planted 300 Snowdrops and 100 Blue Bells last week in a bare spot underneath my Acer tree, because like you, Loofah, I needed them:loll::loll::D
