GET YOUR SPRING BULBS PLANTED

Time is running out for planting spring bulbs. If you haven’t done so already, prepare the area for planting with a thorough weeding and digging over of the soil. Existing bulb beds should be weeded (carefully) now too so when the established bulbs spring back into life, they won’t have to compete with heavy groundcover. Spring bulbs are still available in garden centres and online stores such as NZ Bulbs (www.nzbulbs.co.nz) but don’t delay – time is running out to get them in the ground.
