I have been growing bulbs in containers for a long time, with mostly satisfactory results. Maybe all of this is normal, but it just seems far too early for all this growth (winter isn't even here yet!) Would appreciate any advice on the situations below..
1) Many of my container-grown bulbs (daffs, tulips, crocus) are already starting to poke out. Isn't this far too early? Should I try to put more soil and/or mulch over them?
2) Also, have some pots of grape hyacinth that are full of green leggy stuff. Looks like somebody needs to get in there with the lawnmower. Last spring was my first experience with these so I don't really know if this is normal in the late fall/early winter.
3) Pots of dutch iris are sticking thin green shoots out. I think this is normal but would appreciate advice
