The Team had simply asked for photos and videos to be sent in....no Autumn relevance needed. |

Only Maggi and I watch Autumn Watch? I would have thought the programme would be more popular with UK forum members

Something has happened that will either save my bulbs from the fly or bring a plague. The Housing Exec has just planted 1000s of Narcissus in front of my row of houses

80,000! I just asked. They brought in a Dutch man to plant them with a special machine. It makes a an upside down T in the ground, drops in bulbs and closes the hole. He is followed by 6 men he tramp the ground flat again. He will plant millions in my council area. He leaves the north to head down south and across to England.

Maggi, I thought of it and didnt do it. I'm just back in from the job centre and they are away. Maybe I'll have a wee drive around looking for them

He left for England straight after planting the bulbs. In my estate he planted 250,000 daffodils. He got £8000 for planting bulbs in my borough council area.

Now or later Luc? These bulbs are so densly planted I think they will fail in a year or two.
