    Hi Guys
    :help:
    Planted spring bulbs a couple of weeks ago and today I noticed they are already growing through the soil about a good couple of inches, I expect because its been so warm lately. Will the bulbs be OK for the winter with this growth & still flower in spring?

    What have you planted and are they at the right depth for those bulbs? They'll probably be ok - I've seen this happen with bulbs before at this time of year with no ill effects. Remember, most of them emerge in January and February when they are covered in snow and still bloom :)
