Restoring potted bulbs

Feed and topdress for a summer of flowers, says Ruth

IF you haven't already fed and top dressed any long-standing pots of summer bulbs, there is still time now. Done carefully it shouldn't disturb the roots and new growth but will definitely help them give their best in the months ahead.

This week I turned my attention to our potted lilies and agapanthus that have been in the same pots for three years now, so this will be their final season before I re-pot them or add them to the flower borders.
