Spring bulb thingies

[Sonata]

I can't remember what it was I grew, but they were purply-blue sort of bell shaped things (not bluebells) that came from some bulbs i planted in the window tray things.

Do I dig them up now or just leave them?

Just leave them. Plant on top, some nice bedding plants or something.

Thanks two sheds. I was wondering where to put my marigolds and pretties I've got coming up.

Might be a good excuse to do some sowing! Woo hooo.

[Sonata]

One more question - do I chop the leaves off the bulb plants or just bury them?

[Flummery]

Leave them to die down naturally is best. They sound like Grape Hyacinths. If so, I'd dig them up and burn them but I'm a well-known hater of Grape Hyacinths!

If you are seriously tidy, chop them off.

I dont' think they're hyacinths. I don't like hyacinths..but I think I might trim them - need the space for marigolds or something.

Grape hyacinths aren't really like hyacinths. Try google images for a pic.
