I know the kind of tool you mean. We haven't got one of those but we have got a dipper like a metal spatula. We don't plant many bulbs or dad hasn't planted from seed for a long time. We sometimes get some plugs but otherwise get plants small unless it's for a gift.
That churchyard must be very beautiful when they are all out. A nice place to sit if only the weather was better.
I must be getting tulip bulbs mixed up with something else, probably why mine didn't grow. Do you grow any plants from seed Terry? I've got some biennials overwintering in the GH. Viper's Bugloss, sweet rocket, honesty and delphinium requienii, all sown around July/August. Foxgloves too but they're already in the ground.
I've got some tomato seeds for this year. I grew cucumbers too last year but they're quite demanding in terms of water requirements. And quite tasteless so it defeats the object.
