Container gardening and planting bulbs

[TheOrigBrave]

So I have lots of pots which are still flowering. They are unlikely to die back before I need to plant my spring bulbs, and it seems terrible to dig them up while they're still alive.

What do people do in this situation?

Buy more pots😁

Start the bulbs in smaller pots, then later either transplant them into the larger pots, or sink the smaller pots into the soil of the larger ones. This is a purely theoretical idea - I've never tried it. I just have lots of pots, and a corner of the garden where I can stow pots which aren't currently interesting.
