This can't be right can it?

[Marthaclematis]

My bulbs are coming up. They are a 'spring mix' - dwarf daffs / tulips / iris and the like. The ones which are coming through are in a pot in a sheltered position near the house facing south. Is this why? I'm concerned now that we'll get some bad frosts and they'll die off. I never expected to see them this soon, I planted them in mid September.

so did i, spring mix jobbie from woolies, can't even remember what they are, but in two pots i have large leafy growth?
it's freakin me out.

Ive had stuff popping up for a while now. An experienced mate reckons they will die back with frost and come back up later in spring

Tulips aren't meant to be planted until November ... to reduce the risk of Tulip Fire disease.

[Marthaclematis]

I know, but I might have forgotton if I hadn't planted them at the same time as the daffs. Or I would have remembered but forgotton where I'd put them. Or forgotton where they were supposed to go. Doh.

I was wondering that too, I have some daffs coming up already, I didn't think they were meant to appear til spring next year?

There not in a sheltered place, so that can't be the reason for mine!

Spring bulbs are hardy. They may be appearing early, but they will be fine!!

I've got snowdrops coming up in the back garden, but they always do around this time - they seem to have a growth spurt every time there's a mild spell, then they get to full height just in time to flower I haven't noticed daffs/tulips coming up as the bed is full of chrysanths still.

I have got some bulbs popping up at the allotment I planted them in a border last year. I thought I might put a bit more compost on the top, will this do any damage or will it be ok ?

[piskieinboots]

yep, snowdrops here both inside and out

[blue411]

Yep me too, daffs and tulips starting to apear already

[Alice]

My bulbs are up too. I think it always happens much earlier than we think.

[kate&rob]

mine too, don't know what they, think they may be daffs. my magnolia is developing buds as well!

[coreopsis]

You made me go and have a look-nothing coming but I still got snowdrops to check

[BarleySugar]

My crocus are showing, but no sign of the snowdrops
