People I forgot about this topic until just now while dozing in front of the TV. I asked for corms but I got no reply.

Maybe we should buy out own corm/bulbs as it will be quickest. Like I have already said we should use a Crocus e.g. tomm 'Ruby Giant' and maybe a Muscari e.g. latifolius. Both are readily available in garden centres in small packets. growing medium needs to be the same across the experiment maybe using Ian's mix of grit and horticultural sand. I dont think we need fertiliser.

Should we set a planting date for Saturday September 20th? Everyone should be off on a Saturday

Still up for it?

I`m in for it! ;D
not difficult to get the bulbs in here but the growing medium needs to be specified,as the place to putt them and/or pots.
