I got a boxfull of 60 for 50p...and tommorow I am going to lay turf over the top of them...will they come up throught the grass in spring or have I just wasted 50p and 20 mins of energy?

DD came home from school yesterday with the marie curie daffodil bulb appeal. I thought that they were a little late tbh although we've planted them so we'll see too!

They were selling odd all the spring planting bulbs for 50p. have now spent about 8 quid on about a zillion bulbs(crocus/something like snowdrops/hyacinth). Glad they will come up Gonna have a fab garden

They sound like very mean cats. I've never hear of vandal cats before.

They are a new breed who hang round on the fences waiting for me to plant things they also terrorise my big wuss of a cat

Right...I have just noticed some HUMPS in my nice new lawn...the daffs are not breaking through they are lifting the damn lawn
Before I go out and lovingly cut a whole for each clump is there any thing else I could do????

Ours have only really started to appear in the past week but are coming through very quickly now.
