Each autumn I plant a few bulbs in the garden assisted by my little helpers.
This year I got some more daffodil, bluebell, wood anenome, cyclamen and crocus bulbs in. Heres hoping they bloom next spring and don't just rot in the soggy ground!

All those pictures of the children busy at work in the garden are inspiring me to give ours a little TLC. I might give the garlic a go, you make it sound so easy (have not had much success with veg). I love gardening but I'm afraid to say I am very much a fair weather gardener. It gets neglected from about Oct through to March.

The flowers and gardens of Ireland are sights I will never forget. I wish I got the green thumb from my Irish ancestors.

I've not had much luck with bulbs, it's just too dry here. Good luck.

Julie, I love my trusty trowel, is that sad??!
Maddy, too soggy here too dry there!
A Beth, not much fairweather here to wait for I'm afraid, landscapes make up for it though, don't they VallenQueen.
Kristin, what are paperwhites ... they sound divine.
