All my bulbs are from Farmer Gracy in the Netherlands.
Iām also top dressing all the containers with Ornamental Cabbages, some of which Iāve bought, and others which Iāve grown from seed.
I cannot tell you how glad I am to finally have all 490 of my bulbs planted. Now I can happily forget about them until Spring when Iām hoping theyāll provide a glorious display. I have my fingers crossed š¤š

Jeanette here from Enthusiastic Gardener and look at it, the leaves are falling down. I have my work
cut out for me but there's still quite a lot left on the trees. What do you do? Do you wait until the
end and do it just in one go or do you do it bit by bit? There's no easy way so I'm not doing it
today that's all I can tell you. It's about two o'clock now on Saturday. I have just watched
the most fun video from Laura Gardner, she did the video about making all the gingerbread houses
for Andrew's seed windows. What a lovely video, if you haven't seen it you've got to watch it,
I'm sure you've all seen it. Anyway I'm not going to be trying to make gingerbread houses
out of cardboard boxes, that is beyond my capabilities but what I'm doing today is
finishing up my bulb planting and I have a lot of bulbs left over. If you saw last week's video
I put them all in the ground which was my least favorite job of the year. Now I have lots of pots
I'm going to gather up all my pots together and plant my bulbs and maybe a little lasagna.
These two are new, brand new, just bought them but we bought them for the front garden
and we've changed our minds now. When we were first thinking about the garden and we saw it
all bare, as I'll show you in this picture here, it looked very bare and we thought we think we
need something either side just to make it look a bit more interesting. Now we're thinking now
but do let us know, let me take you outside and I'll show you where we were thinking of putting
them. This is where they were going to go, what do you think? Now we can't decide really
if we like them there or not, we're thinking not, so let us know what you think.
So I'm just going to get my other pots which are down there and we'll get all the pots together
and then we'll put all the bulbs in and as quickly as possible.
Leftover is, I have quite a lot of purple sensation alliums, I have some spherocephalum,
the drumstick alliums, lots of yellow emperor tulips, the yellow ones,
I have lots of red impression tulips and I have lots of the apple dawn elite, the orange ones.
So all I'm going to do is just divide them into every pot I have and also do you remember back
in August I planted ornamental cabbages from seed, well what do you think? These are not
the ones I planted from seed, these are the ones I bought, aren't they gorgeous? Let me show you
the ones that I planted from seed, here are my little beauties which do not look the same,
no they don't, but look we have some purple and I did this last year and they do grow
bigger and better, so I'm going to plant all of these, might as well use them, I have four trays
so we put those on top of the tulips. So let's go ahead plant all the bulbs, all my remaining bulbs,
it looks like it's going to rain so we'll speed up but it will look like I'm sped up anyway
and play some beautiful music, let's get these in, let's get these bulbs over and done with and we
can forget about them until the spring. Well it's getting dark, I haven't finished, these are the
never-ending bulbs, I'm sure someone is going behind me and putting more in the box, so we
still have the spherociferans and we have a mixture, I just put them all in the bag, the red
orange and yellow together, but what I've done really quickly because it is getting dark, we have
the purple sensations in here together with the beautiful cabbages, oh they look nice, they do
they don't look real and then we have, I don't know, I can't remember, I think um yes tulips and
my ornamental cabbages, have the mixed daffodils and ornamental cabbages, we have tulips, tulips and
two, two of those which were left over, I put the tulips in these four, what else did I do, oh yes
I was about, well I did put some tulips in here but I realized as I was digging down there's
already bulbs in there from last year so I've only put a couple in and really that's all I've done,
it's taken me hours and it's getting dark, so I'm going to go in, I'll probably finish,
I'll dig one big hole tomorrow and just stuff these tulips in, I'm done with tulips, so thank
you for watching, I'm Jeanette, I'm the Enthusiastic Gardener and bulb planting is almost done,
thank you for watching, bye
