Time to take my bulbs out of their pots, label 'em and put them in the fridge. The joy never ends. I noticed today the japanese anemones are in bud too.

The ground is so dry here that I found some of my bulbs were sitting in loose soil. when to plant them again! thanks for help.

You'll find it's likely they don't have much in the way of root systems, so until you're ready to replant, just keep them in a dry dark place. When replanting, use compost and make sure the soil is well soaked first, and that you plant them at least as deep again as the bulb measures lengthwise.

Mmmm, radically downsizing to a tiny but rather nice bedsit. Terribly sensible on the budget, bit hard on the squirrel tendencies. But I like pot gardening, so it'll be fine!

Pots can be fabulous - if you can invest in a few big pots, you can make wee landscapes within. Best of luck in your new home.

Small will be good seeing I have a heavy study programme for the next couple of years. As for pots I've discovered those big bright coloured flexible plastic buckets from the Warehouse make excellent pots for vegies. My tomatoes and cukes this year were superb - they're deep enough to provide a good water reservoir for thirsty vegies, and with a layer of charcoal drainage wasn't a problem this summer. Might need a few holes though for winter!
