    Hi All

    Just looking for suggestions/advice.

    All my bulbs were grown in containers and some in troughs. As you'd expect, they have just about finished and I was thinking of letting them die back and leaving them in the troughs. The idea is to move them all to a north facing fence until next season.

    Is this a good idea, or should I let them all dry out, dig them up, bag them and store them away?

    Thanks

    Ken, leaving them in their containers wont be a problem. It`s a lot easier than digging them out and storing them. :thumb:

    OK David

    I thought it would be OK as they seem to thrive on the roadside in this area , year after year. Anyway, north facing fence it is!

    Just had a wander around out there and it seems like this rain we have had, has done a world of good
