    Hi lovely people....can I please pick your brains!:)
    I have been tidying the greenhouse today and came across a bag of sprouting bulbs :yikes:

    I know that it's nigh impossible to get them id'ed.......isn't it?:) Anyway my question really is what should I do with them, should I plant them out or is it way too late now and the ground too cold? They have spent to whole winter in my unheated gh but obviously the temps lately during the day has been high in there.
    Thanks a million :)

    Most of them look like tulip bulbs , some could be daffodils 3rd bulb down from top right plus the 2 near it just below it and maybe some of the smaller bulbs bottom right.

    If you dont want to throw them pot them up and wait and see
