Plants amaze me all the time, this morning I was tidying up and found a upturned pot. Under the pot I found bulbs that had fallen out but had started to grow leaves. They had no soil and still, these plucky little bulbs were wanting to grow.

So I have attempted a rescue mission using things I could quickly find. I found a little old terracotta pot and some stones.

| Few stones |
I had no compost (shocking I know) but I did have a huge molehill, so I grabbed some soil from that and filled the pot just over half full. The only worry I have is that our soil is clay and not sure how it wil work in a pot.will

| Some soil added |
Then I put the saved bulbs into the pot, they were not easy to arrange, so they have a kind of haphazard look about them. I then covered them with more soil and gave them a good water.

I am not sure if they will flower or even survive, but at least they have a fighting chance. I will now get back to the job I went outside to do in the first place. I had better keep on digging that border over.
I bet they will - I've found bulbs like that too and they almost always survive and usually flower too. Then I end up with pots of random bulbs all over the place!! ☺
ReplyDeleteha ha ha I love it and think i will be the same soon xx
DeleteI'm sure they will survive but will they flower?
ReplyDeletenot sure as nothing that looks like buds yet. But they are still alive which I feel I feel is good x

DeleteI wish we were at this stage over here in Canada. We're still burried in snow. Can't wait for green grass and sprouting bulbs. #StayClassyMama
ReplyDeleteWow i will post more so you can see signs of life. Hope not too long till the snow melts and spring starts xx
DeleteWhat a brilliant approach! I love everything about it. I hope these flower and you are rewarded. I love wine and I want to start sorting our garden and attempt some vegetables - so this could be the perfect place for me to start! #thatfridaylinky
