Can you believe it? Ian Young 's 600th Bulb log is now loaded to the SRGC site - that's one every single week since the first in January 2003.
I've offered a celebratory cake but fire regulations mean that we couldn't light 600 candles, even if we'd been able to afford them. ::) :P
Don't want to make too much fuss in case he asks for time off for good behaviour....... ;)
Congratulations Ian - I know exactly how much effort you've put in on this project and I know it is appreciated!

Bravo! I'm sure I'm not alone in saying the Bulb Log is of great importance to me. I use it to dip in and out constantly. Thanks for all your help Ian!

Congratulations, Ian and many, many thanks for all your work. I use it all the time and have now downloaded it onto my Tablet so I can take it into the garden to identify things.
Looking forward to the next 600. Maybe you can have a cake for the 1000th!

Ian
Many many thanks for a source of information that is based on real experience and backed with wonderful photos.
If I need info on bulbs it is the first place I look.

It was a Google bulb search that first led me to Ian's excellent bulb log, and from there to this forum and subsequently SRGC membership. So it's a great recruiting tool as well as a wonderfully useful resource. Thank you.

Ian,
Congratulations and many, many thanks.
Your bulb log is just a treasure trove and has been something I look forward to on every Wednesday morning. I just hope this will continue for many more years.

An amazing tour de force. 8)

Congratulations Ian, on reaching this milestone. And thanks for this great resource, the plaudits are richly deserved - not quite a life sentence yet though!
Looking forward to the next umpteen.......

Not sure you're right , David - 600 weeks without a break is quite a sentence - he probably could have killed me in January 2003 and be out of jail by now! The price of volunteering, I suppose - or success! ::) ;)

Hosta 'Blue Mouse Ears' - a gift from Graham Catlow a few years ago and a firm favourite for its sturdy flower stems and big flowers - Ian remarks in the BL that it is "almost" unchewed" :-X ::)

Fascinating log Ian.
I happened to break an erythronium bulb the other day when repotting & was very annoyed with myself.
However I'm pleased I decided to plant both pieces as now I've read your latest bulb log there is a chance I haven't caused the demise of my lovely plant.

Lovely picture of Molly & Megan in Bulb Log 30.......had they chosen to lay on something particularly precious Ian?

The little bandits are squashed the plants there for the most part - luckily in that place the summer plants were only just hanging on after the late lamented Poppy decide that was her favourite sunny spot too. The spring bulbs are safe enough underneath the sunbathing small whites but the only summer things left right now are some determined Anomathecas which are flattened to the ground.
Sigh! :P Luckily it is only at this time of year they go on there, but the dogs do SO love that spot........ ;)

My parents little dog tip toes through my borders so I do not mind her having the freedom to explore..................she gets lots of cuddles whatever she does.
A proper soppy date me when it comes to dogs. ::)
