I am a very novice gardener having done most of my gardening in a hot climate. Sort of stick a twig in the ground and it grows place.
I'm now trying to create my dream of an English cottage garden and learning by trial and lots of error.
I planted lots of crocuses and other bulbs in September and noticed a few weeks ago that the crocuses and tulips were putting up shoots.
I'm in the Midlands and it hasn't been particularly warm this Autumn.
My DH thought I may have planted them too shallowly. I can't remember but pretty sure I did what it said on the packet.
Anyway covered them with around 5cm of potting compost but saw today green shoots coming up through this. The tulip ones are really quite long and thin.
Wondering if I should dig them up and replant them deeper, particularly the pretty frilly tulips, or would that kill them ?
Help please.
