Post #7236727

Just after purchasing our first home about 10 years ago, I planted a bunch of little bulbs in a bed out front. Purple crocus and Snowdrops. I have always left them alone and they return for me every spring.

Planning to do some replanting in the rest of the bed DH tilled, added soil and mulched. I asked him to leave the part of the bed w/ the bulbs alone. Now the soil is 3 - 4 inches higher in the larger part of the bed and I am wondering if I can add soil to the top of the bulb area to level it out and if my bulbs will be okay if I do? Or should I dig them up add the soil then replant.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks ;D
