Welcome back to our cottage garden. As we move into Autumn it’s time to start planning and planting our bulbs for Spring. Join me as I unbox our first lot of bulbs and show you where we will be planting them. Hopefully more to come later in the season!

Love your channel! Can never get enough! 💜
Hope this tip may help with the Anemone nemerosa. I have always found them best to put into 7/9 cm pots cover with leaf mould and leave ( beware of mice) the first 12-months they will put the roots down, then the second year they should be ready to flower and naturalise, can then be planted.
your gardens are already beautiful but it is going to be stunning. i love listening to your talkative ducks. thank you for sharing your garden adventures. 🤍🕊
Thanks so much. What wholesalers did you use, thanks
That’s one huge bulb delivery! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 also what wholesale bulb supplier do you use?
My anemones did the same? 😅 I’ve bought more for next season because I’m a sucker for punishment it seems! I’ve gone for a lot of tulips this time because I didn’t last year and I miss them 😢 and also some different types of daffodils. I can’t wait to start planning where I want them! 🌷
These ducks
I don't know, is is just me? But I can't get enough footage of those duckies! They are just too cute! 🦆🦆🦆
What whole sale did you get them from ?
I preordered my bulbs this year so it's been a few months since I made my choices. They should be arriving soon and I'm looking forward to what surprises I have planned for myself. 😊 I don't recall how many I purchased but I do know it's more than I've ever done at once before.
BEAUTIFUL , Always look forward to your videos. I saw where YOU where FEATURE in the magazine called " In her garden" Very nice article of your garden.
Excited to see how the perennial bed of tulips do for you this year.

I think I'm going to look for packs of Iris in Garden Centres this year for pots, plus a few other small numbers of bulbs for pots on the Spring bench.
Wow! 1000 bulbs. I'm planting allium and a variety of daffodils (narcissus). Although I like tulips, the deer and squirrels in Ontario Canada enjoy the fall feast so not really worth the money. I'm thrilled with your garden. Thank you so much.
Excited for the tulip video!
Every day the past few weeks I was hoping that you would show us what you got, as i buy my own spring bulbs. 🤩🤩 I try to plant early flowering, midseason and late blooming to make the show last as long as possible. 3:48 Last autumn I decided to do a small run of white perianth on yellow petals dafodils,. gradually transitioning into solid yellow, then gradually transitioning to yellow perianth on white, the seller sent bulbs labeled according to what I wanted, but, they were all white on yellow, the solid yellows were correct though, so i suppose that I shall correct that next month. 4:39 Yes, rodents ate mine as well, I must lay down poultry wire mesh over them this springtime. If I remember correctly, it is the tommasiensis typr crocuses that rodent will not eat, all others the rodent swill eat. 5:55 Lawns are boring to me, but others here at home want a yard, so….. my way is the entire area arround the house is gardens, with narrow pathways meandering through. 6:36 My neighbor, on his 12o acre cattle farm, planted a 200 feet long row of holly shrubs to sell. He planted them quite tiny 10 yars back, I watch them every year to see if they are making berries yet, because holly bushes come in "boys and girls" , "male and female", to get berries, one must have a male and a female. He planted them to sell, perhaps 60 of them. So far, no berries. That is an idyllic winter scene, a holly bush , with clumps of wet snow on it, with cardinal birds on the bush. You mentioned winter interest, and that is the visual that I get in my mind when I think of winter interest in the garden. I have wanted such a holly bush for a LONG time. At 63 years of age, i had best get cracking and get it done!😆😆 8:08 My autumn crocuses I MUST plant them in pots, because in a few years they disappear, the bulbs DO die, not rodent loss, so apparently, they can not survive our harsh Ohio The autumn crocus that I especially adore is if I remember correctly named crocus alba ligustica, I love it's long red/orange pistils that hang out of the blooms. My ligusticums are in pots for an entire year, and the bulbs are just now beginning to send stems up out of the bulbs. 8:43 yes! Paella, with one of the most high priced spices on the planet, saffron! 9:50 Wow! 1,200 bulbs! You are going to need an electric powere augur to get them planted without spraining something! 10:29 Yes, so far i have bought the tulips that sell out fast, like the Silver parrotts, the Webber's parrot and the Super parrotts, and the antique broken tulips.. When it comes to parrots, I want the white/ light colored types because their flower texture is much moe apparent with light colors than dark colors. The i bought a few very high priced broken tulips. I love parrot tulips, they look like an old Dutch masters paintng, they nod down , to i raise them up in their pots to eyes level, So I think that they are just fine wich darkness.
O.K. thank you for sharing your spring plans/bubls!
…….. I have been gardening 50+ years, it never gets boring.
I was inspired by you and ordered crocuses and tulips – waiting for them to arrive and excited to plant them for the first time ever!
You are so inspirational ❤️ at least for me, I planted yellow, white and purple crocuses in the grass this year, instead in a flowerbed. I also planted white crocuses in the grass near the apple trees. Can't wait to see them blooming 🌸❤❤
Well! There I was going to do a vid on my crocus lawn, procrastinating for a week as I can’t find the strength to plant 75 bulbs, I literally hate bulb planting I even when I accidentally dig some up to plant I throw to one side that’s how bad it is, come spring I lament on how I could have should have planted more bulbs!

Just started planting my bulbs too. Camassias crocus, snowdrops narcissus alliums and fritillaries for our new wildflower meadow and loads of tulips for the flower beds. I too buy from the wholesaler as we plant about 3,000 a year and it is so much cheaper – about a third of the price of the garden centres
None of my Fritillaria flowered last year either. I'm going to try some in pots this year.
My gardening conditions are quite similar so I appreciate the plant suggestions.
Really nice selection you put together, love the iris. Funny how the ducks hung around chattering 'til you said hello, that was so sweet.
I have collected seeds from my alliums this year and want to give them a try. Have you grown alliums from seed?
Bunnies beheaded my crocuses this year too! So rude! Similarly planning to plant more to have better odds of getting a few to appreciate myself after the bunnies have done their worst.
