The Beginning of the Flood

I came home yesterday to find a box on the doorstep;
full of bulbs to go in as soon as possible. In
practice that is likely to be early June, which is a
bit late but... so they’re sitting on my sewing
table.
As well as a the daffodils, freesias, irises, crocuses and hyacinths I’d ordered, they’ve thrown in some blue dutch irises I need to find a home for. I think they’ll fit in the front border by the salvia, but there’ll be wind problems I fear.
So the stack of plants, bulbs and seeds has begun, I’ve also sorted out a space on the deck to hold plants until they can go in. Hopefully out of the way of the people cutting back the deck but still accessible. It’s all go here!
I’m currently planning a week off in early June to plant as much as possible, although I’m unlikely to have the fruit trees or roses by then.
