• Found some ornamental allium bulbs (in the house, forgotten about). Wrong time of year to plant. Is it best to keep them somewhere cool and dark until autumn, or put them in the ground now? They've been forgotten about for a while and want to do whatever gives them best chance of future success...

  • I’d get them in too, nothing to lose. We had a box of tulip bulbs that we missed the window with last year and they were manky as hell when I opened them recently.

    We’ve gone a bit OTT this year with the plants, shrubs and trees, I guess the last year of isolation has made us prioritise the garden over the house. We planted three new borders at the weekend, a Buxus topiary project (which I’m very paranoid about blight/moth/all-the-diseases), two lovely acers and my dream Chinese dogwood tree for the front garden. Please god, pretty please, don’t let me kill them.
