    Buying Spring bulbs in bulk

    Well I bought a bulb planter which seems to work very well. I've planted about 100 or so Tulips and some Purple Sensation Alliums too. We will see what comes up.

    I think you’re right @CostasK, my sandy soil is the problem. I’m actually not very keen on the scent either but I might let it try to sway my negative thoughts over the next few weeks :biggrin:.
