My tulip bulbs are in the chiller at the moment - it's been very mild, so I have gained a few chill hours by keeping them there!

It’s going to be even milder next week. The bizarre year of weather continues! Wish I had the space to chill ours.

But it's gearing up to be cold later - polar vortex is weak which is a sign of cold winter spells to come!

I really hope so!! Something o peg back that mollusc population! 😂 I’ll take cold and crisp over mild and soggy any time!

This is brilliant! I am planting up all bulbs except tulips at the moment and like you suggest, I m leaving the pots in the greenhouse or next to the house covered in mesh! I may wait until December as its just so mild right now.

Thanks so much Sophie! So glad to hear that you enjoyed it! I’m just about to start ‘bulbing’! Most of the bulbs have arrived. Compost arrives this week. Thankfully it looks dry and cool 👍
