I wrote myself a note last year to plant plant some spring flowering - hyacinths and daffodils and bluebells and Summer flowering bulbs - alliums, Lilly. I’ve a novice gardener with only a very large raised bed for them. What shall I buy the bulbs?

I've just spent a small fortune at Peter Nyssen, on the recommendation of a friend with a pretty spectacular garden.

Tesco is good (and cheap) for daffs.

I've ordered from farmer gracey this year and have some on the way. In previous years I've used bulbs from Wilkos and they've always been great. I just wanted some fancier varieties this year.

I'm waiting on some from Farmer Gracey, I had some a year or so ago, they were fine.

Got tulips from Sarah Raven last year, they were fab!

Or just your garden centre, tbh. We put in a load of crocus, iris and anemones in our new front bed at the weekend, all from garden centres.

I've used Farmer Gracy a lot - they were good and I find the website helpful.

Sarah raven - good but can be pricey. Her colour combinations really work though.
