    so I had sworn I wouldn't do pots this year. So I was waiting for the potatoes to boil, and thought about my favourite tulip Angelique. So I idly looked at the Crocus website, oh no, sale on. £40 later.....tulips,crocuses,alliums. So I will be doing pots next week

      Good choice! Angelique is a lovely tulip :blue thumb: You'll have to distract yourself when you're boiling the spuds in future if you don't want to spend anything. :snork: Mind you, think how lovely those pots will look next year. :)

          Hi Ariadae

          Are you gonna catch up with me then ?

          453 so far.....

          Waiting for 20 Allium from Parkers, got 10 Ranunculus and 6 Hyacinths to do.

          That makes 489 and I bet I'll hit the 500 mark soon :)

              Wow @Anthony Rogers, I can't beat that! Sadly Crocus were out of Angelique so I will have to get some from somewhere else, what a good excuse for another browse! I love them, they are so beautiful

                I've got a diary note to check Wilkos for reduced bulbs on 30th October as they've reduced them on that date for the last 2 years, with further refuctions down to little as 10p/pack during weeks 2 or 3 of November.
