It’s one of my favourite times of the year, Spring Bulb season! I was busy this weekend planting out my chosen varieties, those little bulbs of hopes and dreams and the excitement of colourful blooms early next year never fail to make me smile and just the thought of them popping up over the allotment is exactly what we need right now. I filled the apple tub with tulips and daffodils and even created a smaller bulb lasagne container layered with tulips, daffodils and crocus for the allotment patio. I’ll admit I ordered way too many bulbs and I have quite a few spare, I need to sit down and plan the allotment so I can find space for them somewhere…
To celebrate Spring bulb planting season we’re hosting a little giveaway which I’m so excited about! The prizes include one of our vintage round galvanised tubs as well as some Spring bulbs handpicked by me. You will get 10 of my all time favourite Tulip bulbs ‘La Belle Epoque’, 10 of my all time favourite Narcissus bulbs ‘Sir Winston Churchill’ and 50 Crocus ‘Mixed Colours’ bulbs. A perfect little starter set to create your very own bulb lasagne container and one which I am very envious of, it’s going to look so beautiful in bloom!
All you need to do to enter is simply comment here on this blog post and share what you are most excited about growing next Spring. The winner will be chosen by random and you have until midnight on Sunday the 15th of November to enter. Don’t forget to head over to Instagram and give us at lavenderandleeks and lavenderandleeks_shop a follow too. I’m afraid the giveaway is open to UK residents only due to high postage costs.
Good luck!

I can’t wait for everything to come up, I love being in my allotment gives me contentment and peace of mind.
I’ve watched you vlogs for so long now, and have really enjoyed being a part of your journey. As a fellow allotment holder and an avid crafter I love all your vlogs! 😊
Look forward to the tulips brightening up the garden, in my eyes the start of the growing season after the winter. Also the brightness and scent of my hyacinths in the garden.
I can’t wait to grow absolutely everything! I’m a new allotmenteer taking on my first overgrown mess of a plot earlier this year taking much inspiration from yours. Its looking a little bare, but I just cant wait to see it all in bloom, and growing everything I like to eat and all the cut flowers that I can manage!
This spring I’d love to get a nice crop of leeks. We love them and I’m trying for the very first time. I’m pretty new to having an allotment. I planted some bulbs but clearly not at the right time so I didn’t get any flowers. I hope next spring that changes and I can have beautiful colourful flowers!
What a brilliant prize! I’m looking forward to getting to grips with brassicas next year so trying out purple cauliflower, beautiful sprouts , and lots of broccoli. We eat loads of the stuff so aiming for an endless supply!
What a nice price! I am looking forward to build more vegetable beds in my garden to get more homegrown food. Most of my veg was grown in containers this year but because my garden is big enough, i want to go for proper beds next year to grow even more.
What an exciting prize. After discovering garden during lockdown I am excited to plant some aliums and get some height and shape in the borders of garden which is finally getting the love it deserves!
What a wonderful prize. I’m looking forward to hopefully getting me allotment in the Spring. As it’s a new build site, it hasn’t yet been handed over by the builders to the allotment association. I’m taking part in The Floral Project, so hope to grow a few flowers (to give) as well as the vegetables. Good luck to everyone x
Awwww what a fab giveaway! I’ve planted some aliums a few days ago which I can’t wait to see in bloom in the spring! I’m planning a mixed flower border with them and adding some poppies, Ammi majus, and cornflowers too, really looking forward to seeing the finished product.
I’m excited for my ranunculus this year!
I am so excited, I really hope I win as I have never planted a bulb lasagne before. In fact before the 1st lockdown I had never planted anything 😀
Spring is my most favourite time if the year! Seeing bits if green popping up through the ground heralds the beginning of new life, bringing us new hope of better things to come. Thus will certainly be the case in 2021 . My tapestry collection of tulips I’m always excited to see and can’t wait for the new “George” irises to flower. The emergence of colour after a bare winter is so beautiful.
Hi Katie , I agree with you about the excitement of planning for spring . Audrey Hepburn said that to plant/garden is to believe in tommorow !! And with this year being so unpredictable beliving and planing for next year gives me hope … I’m looking forward to planting butternut squash next year I want to expand my squash haul and love butternut squash so excited for them
A lovely spring bulb planting up video on YouTube. I would love to enter your giveaway please. I have a new garden and am looking forward to spring this coming year and all that it may bring. Thank you.
I am hoping to get some Apples from the trees that we planted over 12 months ago now in a new garden… the trees are looking very happy at the moment and get lots of water so hopefully we will get a couple of the eating apples next year! A great prize though, the planter is very nice, old and vintage. If I am lucky enough to win I want to give this to my mum as she will love watching the flower lasagne take shape!
I’m looking forward to sowing and trying to grow some strawberries from seeds I’ve saved from actual fruit rather than purchased plants . Not sure how that will go but looking forward to finding out ! I also am looking forward to seeing the plants flowing which I’ve planted now in the gloomy weather hoping for warmer and brighter weather to come .
Really looking forward to the spring, it will be my first as a ‘gardener’ as I’ve taken the hobby up during lockdown. To see the explosion of colour as the day starts to get longer, seeing new life spring up.
Spring bulb giveaway – I’m looking forward to growing some Hokkaido pumpkins with seeds given to me by a very dear friend.
I’m looking forward to so much i can hardly contain myself. Another year of growing, learning absorbing time on my plot. Watching my wildlife area blossom and few flowers bloom. And sharing it all with everyone x
Love watching all of you videos for inspiration and motivation. This is such a lovely giveaway, and amazing prize.
I have finally been allocated a plot after a long wait on the list, so next spring I’m excited to get stuck into everything. It’s so hard to pick a favourite, athough I have a soft spot in my heart for Tulips. I’m also keen to try growing potatoes in planters and seeing how they get on along and its tradition to plant poppy seeds with my daughter Poppy.
All the best to Katie, Ted and family.
Good luck to all other entries. Wishing everyone a hopeful end to this difficult year, 2021 is the perfect time to start a fresh.
(with the lavender and leeks calendar to keep us on track of course.)
What a lovely giveaway. Love your vintage containers..
I am probably looking forward to growing onion/shallots/garlic.
But when anything grows I am excited!!!
I’ve got a couple of fancy things to try next year Peche Vilmorin tomatoes that have a real peach blush to them and Sokol bread seed poppies which are pale violet. I love being able to grow beautiful food for myself although it still has to taste good 🙂
So lovely, thank you, Katie! I’m excited to grow more veg in general in my tiny garden. I’ve been dabbling for a few years with odds and ends in pots and want to get serious next year. 🙂
I am most excited about growing new varieties of fruit and veg. Also looking forward to growing new types of exotic plants in my new borders
Gardening is my therapy when I’m upset or just need to chill out from a stressful day… Loving your website & videos – very informative and inspirational!! Thanks so much 💐
Katie your blogs, vlogs, posts always put a smile on my face and make me excited about whats around the corner in the garden, whoever is lucky enough to win I’m certain, will share the same joy and enthusiasm 😊 I for my part, spent the wkend planting my spring bulbs, mulching and cozying up the plants in their warm winter fleeces, which makes me as contented as when I’m splashing paint around in my studio!🎨
Lovely prize. I’m new to gardening and in Spring I am looking forward to growing tulips.
Never knew bulb lasagne was a thing! How wonderful – would love to win this prize. We only got an allotment in June this year, so I’m excited to be growing all the things we weren’t able to this year. Also excited for the things we’re overwintering, like spring cabbage, purple sprouting broccoli, and asparagus kale.
What a gorgeous giveaway! I’ve just begun my big autumn tidy up of the garden and I’ve finally planted out all the allium bulbs I bought in late spring ….I can’t wait to see them! Hopefully I will have more than 1 grow next year ☺️
Such a lovely giveaway! I can’t wait to plant sweet peas for the first time and fill the garden with beautiful scents
We’ve got some miniture tulips this year to try!
Wow what an amazing prize. Next year will be my 2nd growing year and I am most excited about trying to grow some cucamelons. Good luck everyone 😁😁
What a lovely giveaway!
We can’t wait to plant some daffodils to give a pop of colour in the spring!
We only got our allotment this April so it was all a bit of a rush with getting plants growing this year, we can’t wait to be more prepared next year and hope to try some new vegetables and hopefully have more luck with our failed broccoli!
Like you, spring is my favourite time of year, and planning for spring, in autumn, also fills me with anticipation thinking of the lovely show the bulbs will make.
The bulbs you have chosen are simply beautiful. and will look stunning in the galvanised pot.
I can’t wait to see all of my tulips and daffodils in flower in the spring. I have spent lots of time planting bulbs over the last month so fingers crossed the hard work is worth it. I am also looking forward to growing more fruit next year. I feel I have got the hang of vegetables and now it’s time to grown my own fruit… here’s hoping!
A fabulous giveaway, so excited for this. Whoever wins will be over the moon I’m sure!
I successfully grew Kohl Rabi this year on my first plot and loved them. I feel I’m getting to grips with veg growing, learning every day of the year and next year I hope to focus more on flowers and this giveaway will help me create that vintage look I’m going for. 🤞 to all. x
What a great giveaway. I am looking forward to working on creating a cutting flower bed at my alloment for next summer but first have set a lot of spring bulbs i love having a mix of veggies and flowers.
What a fantastic giveaway. I’m hoping that spring brings with it some optimism after a hard year for everybody. Ive got some purple sprouting broccoli in that I’m hoping to have my first taste of and I’ll be making a real effort to get back into my photography in 2021. My plan is to record the progress of my plot throughout the year. Spring for me is the time to get a head start on everything in the greenhouse so I’ll be doing early showings of brassicas and squashes. I’m starting on sweet peas next week.
Im most looking forward to planting my tulip bulbs that came this morning from Sarah Raven. I ordered, Clear water (crisp white), Apricot beauty and Mariette (beautiful hot pink). I would like to be more successful with growing snowdrops, I’ve tried a few times and they haven’t come back the next year so I am going to do more research on them.
Thanks for opportunity in this giveaway Katie
Kind regards
Barry
I’m planting a bed of tulip bulbs just for cutting this year, a first for me! I’m so excited to cut the blooms for the house, and for friends and family. Thanks for the fab giveaway!
I love this! I very nearly gave up my plot this year after downsizing to a half plot at the start of the year, as I wasn’t finding the time to get there and our garden desperately needs attention, but my enthusiasm for both has been renewed. I stripped the entire tatty and overgrown back garden border this year and it currently just contains a single rose bush. Some colour is desperately needed out there for spring, so that is my focus for next year (as well as starting from scratch again with my half plot).
I love bulbs I love the excitement in the spring when they start to pop out 🌷 I love all bulbs and all flowers i would love to win because I find every year I seem to buy them same so to win some would be lovely to try something different x x
I’m looking forward to planting sweet corn. I did a trial this year ,which was a bit late, but the results were really good . Hopefully I’ll be in plenty of time to plant more.🤞🏻I have also planted La Belle Époque this year and can’t wait for spring 🤗
Having moved to our “forever home” last year there wasn’t a single plant in the garden! So renovations have been slow in the house, but we’ve been trying to put some much needed love and attention to the garden. My son (7) has helped me plant so much of the garden, and he makes my heart swell when I catch him talking to the plants, because apparently “they grow better then, Mummy”! He’d love this prize as much as I would and I know he can’t wait to see the pops of joy that will rise up after all his hard work! Also who knew there were so many variations of the lovely daff! We’ve tried replete and obdam this autumn!
A wonderful giveaway!
At the moment I’m looking forward to the tulips. It always seems so long that the garden looks mostly brown, then come spring it’s a riot of colour! Hurrah!
But looking further into next year, I plan to grow more chrysanthemums, which have been a revelation to me, and means I can extend the season of flowers from the garden a bit longer!
What a lovely prize. I just got an allotment this year so have been mostly weeding and dreaming about how it’s going to look. Next year I can’t wait to try some rainbow carrots with my 3 y.o. son.
I would also love some cut flowers to brighten up the house.
We’ve planted a bed of spring bulbs for cutting at our allotment. I’m excited to see them come up in Spring and have the beautiful blooms in the house.
I love spring, the excitement of seeing all the green peeping through the frosty soil 😍
I am so excited to grow more varieties of cut flowers including Cosmos apricot lemonade and also going to try sweet potatoes as I have seen that people in my region have had success!
I planted a ton of bulbs this year, so spring will be colorful!!! Would love to win!
Hi, I’m looking forward to properly designing a cut flower bed. Bit of a luxury but have always wanted oodles of beautiful flowers in my home. Also desperate to sent some on to family and friends as I’m guessing lockdown (or a variation of) will continue and by then everyone will need something to make them smile x
I am looking forward to harvesting some garlics that I planted in an old wheelbarrow at the bottom of my garden. The wheelbarrow was from my allotment that became too big for me to manage but I still enjoy planting veg anywhere I can in my cottage garden x
Lovely giveaway, Katie. We are moving to a new house with a much bigger garden soon. I can’t wait to plant the whole front lawn with snowdrops, crocus and bluebells! I’m also looking forward to filling the beds in the back garden with fruit bushes for the children. My 2yo loves picking fresh berries in the summer and I’ll be using them to wean his sister next summer 🙂
What an exciting giveaway! I have already planted a few spring bulbs in pots. I am in the process of renovating my first home so can’t plant anything in the ground until all the building work is done. So I can’t wait for next year when I can start making my allotment and figuring out where everything can go! I am most looking forward to planting some cosmos & zinnia! X
What a wonderful giveaway ! Spring is my favorite season and i love tulips so much.
Next year i am thinking of buying a couple of apple trees for my allotment, a friend gave me some of his apples and the taste was amazing.
Love your choice of spring bulbs.
Beautiful giveaway!!! Spring is my favourite season, and it certainly helped starting lockdown round 1 in the spring. I’ve planted a magnolia in the garden, so I am looking forward to seeing that bloom (hopefully!) next year. I once saw a quote ‘where flowers bloom, so does hope’ and I think we are all hoping 2021 is a better year! 😊
I’m looking forward to having a go at vegetables, I had a little dabble for the first time this year and now I’ve got the bug. Also I’ve just planted some Aliums for the first time and I’m excited to see how they turn out.
I have just planted my dwarf apple tree that has been in a pot for a year and surrounded the bottom with the Thalia bulbs the same as you mentioned in your video.
I also have some small rip van winkle daffs which I have put in a small terracotta pot, I always love planting my bulbs as it brings you the promise of the Spring to come 🙂 looking forward to it more this year than ever.
Lovely giveaway! I am most looking forward to seeing my tulips and daffodils which I’m hoping to make into a spring bouquet x
What a marvelous giveaway Katie. Love it! I am most looking forward to growing Mexican fleabane, carrots and of course my favourite dahlias! Spring come on down, l planted quite a few tulips as well and looking forward to seeing them bloom!🌷🌷🌺
Fab giveaway! I’m looking forward to growing more berries next year. We’ve ordered two different varieties of strawberries, to give us berries from May-October! Cannot wait. We have a shared allotment with another family and our young ones would love planting these Spring bulbs 💜
Such a lovely giveaway!!
I’m always excited to grow spring flowers, they are so cheerful.
I’d also like to grow Parton peppers on the allotment.
For me, planting bulbs in the autumn is an almost spiritual act. Placing bulbs into the ground and thinking about their possibilities in Spring and having optimistic feelings for the new year is powerful and of course we have all needed that in 2020
Such a lovely giveaway! I’m excited about the hundreds of spring bulbs I’ve got to plant this year – usually our garden is so boring in the spring so I’m hoping next year it will be filled with flowers 😊
What a brilliant prize. I am excited to see the beautiful vibrant spring colours emerging from their long deep sleep. My favourite season 🌷
Awesome giveaway !
I am most looking forward to growing more pond plants and seeing what wildlife it attracts x
I can’t wait to get some spring crocus – suddenly realised this year I didn’t have any so I’m remedying that for next spring!
What a gorgeous AND generous giveaway! I’m so looking forward to seeing a profusion of tulips, narcissi, English bluebells, and crocuses this spring! I planted even more this year so that I’d have loads for next Spring to have cut flowers as well as enough to stay outside for my neighbours to enjoy too!
I’m reading about Moon Gardening 🧑🌾 and now until the 15th November, is the perfect time to plant bulbs.
This is a fantastic giveaway, and beautiful bulbs.
Wendy
Fantastic galvanised pot! I’m planting narcissus Pink Charm which are new to me and also black parrot tulips 😊
Love your giveaway especially as my plan for this year spring garden is lots more variety of tulips along with various heights to create a lovely cutting garden too share the loveliness they bring 🤞🌷🌷💫
Just started planting a spring border! They are little bulbs of hope needed more than ever in these uncertain times. Would love that container on my patio 🙂
Katie
Amazing price, thank you. I planted lots of new tulips this year as well as anemone and wallflowers. I seeded lots of hardy annuals too and hoping to see an array of colour come April- May. Fresh lettuce leaves eating is a favourite of mine in spring.
What a great giveaway especially as you can’t get la Belle Époque for love nor money!!! Love the vintage container too. I can’t wait to plant lots of gladiolus Byzantine in our long grass meadow area and a range of narcissi.. to create a cacophony on the eye!
I’m planting Dahlias for the first time ever and so excited to see if they work 😆
I can’t wait to get started on a cut flower bed on my allotment…the veg was great this year but a. So looking forward to having sweet peas, dahlias and lots more flowers to cut for the house and to give posies to friends! I’ve been trawling through your blog for ideas for varieties to grow – love reading your tips and stories from the allotment!
Sarah
I’m really looking forward to spring and watching all the colour pop up ready for the new growing season. I’m most looking forward to growing more dahlias next year though, they’re so pretty!
Wow what a lovely prize. I’m looking forward to seeing all the daffodils popping us. There yellowness make me feel so happy. My grandad taught me how to do a lot around the garden. 💐
What a wonderful giveaway. My daffodils put on a beautiful display in 2020, so I have snuck another bag of 40 into the allotment. I’m looking forward to seeing them poke up through the soil. Also, I’m hoping to split my hellebore next year, too. Its a real vintagey creamy pinky colour – so beautiful.
I am most excited about the crocus i have planted in my lawn , i am hoping they give a wonderful show in early spring . Lovely giveaway Katie !
What a marvelous giveaway Katie! I am so looking forward to spring and excited about growing sweetpeas, carrots Mexican fleabane and of course more dahlias!
I’m always excited to grow alliums, they’re my favourite and once they are finished I bring them inside as dried flowers for the rest of the year! Also looking forward to my bulb lasagne coming back in the spring!
Such a great idea! I can’t wait to get planting an array of onions, garlic and shallots in a new raised bed and dedicating an entire area to dahlias and chrysanthemums to brighten 2021…
Sorry l think l posted twice!
Thanks for the giveaway. Planted our tulips last weekend in pots and can’t wait to see how the look to give colour on our doorstep for a brighter 2021
I’m planting some Apricot Beauty tulips after watching your YouTube video they looked beautiful! x
This is such a lovely giveaway. Spring is so beautiful. We are currently trying to sort out our garden (the last owners paved it so, but we have a toddler and a baby, so it doesn’t work). The thing in most looking forward to us getting it sorted and seeing it little people faces when they finally have a garden to run in and explore.
How wonderful!
Front garden was destroyed by our extension last year and just as we got it nearly back, we had to have an emergency new roof last month 🙁 So I am looking forward to seeing what daffodils and yellow and red tulips I managed to save from being crushed under a digger. So not sure what I’ve planted back until next year. Fingers crossed it all looks colourful and cheerful as at the moment it’s a complete mess, devoid of anything but weeds, rubble and mud. Planting out irises and alliums to try and bring in some different summer colours.
Wish me luck!
Amazing giveaway! 💕. I’m so excited to see the results of my first try at a bulb lasagne and looking forward to seeing my alliums coming up 🌷
I’m most excited about building a brand new garden bed in the spring. Hope to put tons of alliums and daffodils in as apparently the deer do not like them. I’m not in the UK for the giveaway but I have a friend who is so if I win I’d like to gift it to her. Have a wonderful day!
Hi Katie,
What a fabulous prize! I love daffodils in the spring – (though I know you’re not your favourite!!) hehe!!
I’d love to win this prize, and have a go at a bulb lasagne!! The tulips especially look beautiful!!
All the best to you (and Ted!)
Hayley xxxx
I am most excited about the alliums I am planting at the allotment, I’ve got a few varieties but I’m really looking forwRd to seeing Allium Christophii! Awesome giveaway Katie!
Amazing gift, thank you. I am looking forward to seeing the hardy annuals I seeded snd bulbs to come out in flowers; I planted new tulips, anemones, daffodils 😀
I’m most looking forward to my first ever attempt at growing snowdrops as it will signal the start of another wonderful year in our gardens 🌹🌺🌼🌸
What a Precious giveaway..Love spring bulbs
What a fabulous giveaway! I planted some wallflowers at the allotment a few weeks ago. I’ve never grown them before, so I am really looking forward to seeing them in flower
What a fab giveaway! I did my first tiny farmer gracy order this Autumn! I’ve only ever had bulbs that were in the garden when I inherited it- so I’m particularly excited by trying Tulip Lilac Perfection. The soft romantic colours are a fave!
🧄 We are most looking forward to growing garlic on our allotment next year. We’ve not had much success in the past but hope next year is going to be our lucky year 🤞🧄
I’m most excited to see my Herbaceous Border this spring! I have spent hours the autumn renovating it – it was tired, overgrown and filled with weeds. So I’ve dug everything up, pulled out the weeds, split plants to rejuvenate them, and added in some new self grown from seed plants and some bulbs. I think it’s going to look great – but we won’t know until spring!
I’m looking forward to planting an array of onions, shallots and garlic in a new raised bed and dedicating an area to dahlias and chrysanthemums to brighten 2021…
What a fabulous giveaway. I’m so excited about developing my new flower garden. I’ll be growing all the sweet peas and concentrating on flowers that attract pollinators from early spring right through to late autumn .. hoping to share the love of cut flowers too!
So many things to look forward to in spring but I’m looking forward to my Apricot Foxgloves flowering which I grew from seed this year.
This container would look great on my patio in spring!
Such an amazing prize! It’s my first year planting bulbs, I’m so exited to see the early Spring daffodils… I’ve gone for W.P Milner as I love the pale shade. Can’t wait!
Iam looking forward for all the early flowering mixed bulbs I tried to naturalise in my lawn.
Hello Katie!
Lovely giveaway, I absolutely love tulips. Every year I try some new ones. This time I have planted some really tall Camargue tulip bulbs and I am very interested to see how they will look when spring comes 🌷
The thing i am looking forward to growing the most this spring is probably my tiny adorable pink muscari bulbs! When I was little I used to find the classic blue grape hyacinths so mindblowing, I would secretly pick them in my nans garden and run my fingers up the stems so that the little ‘grapes’ would gather in my hand and id imagine that’s what fairies must eat! At the age of 28 I am still excited about grape hyacinths, especially now that I have found a pastel pink version and it will be the second year of my own garden!!!
I can’t wait to get a green roof growing on the garden workshop my partner just built. Hopefully Iris reticulata will do well up there getting a dry spell in the summer, and some creeping thymes.
I’ve been growing veg for a few years with varied success. Much better this year with a new poly tunnel. I’m excited about the tunnel next year and trying to grow flowers for the first time. I want to try a dahlia border around the veg patch. I just get generally really excited about the possibilities!!!
I am looking forward to longer days and spending evenings at the allotment.
Whoever wins this giveaway will be in for a treat! I’m growing strawflowers for drying and a variety of plants with pretty seed heads including alliums, poppies, sea holly, honesty and rudbeckia as their seed heads look like spent matchsticks. Fingers crossed!
A special giveaway indeed! Lots of plans for the coming growing season. Four new raised beds ordered and lots of new seeds to play with! New to me will be Coco de Paimpol, Gigantes and Roquencourt beans, parsnips and a new variety of tomatoes-Amish Paste. I would love to join in. I’m a subscriber but sadly there is no one to tag! But good luck all!
What a lovely giveaway. I have just planted up two beds of daffodils and tulips for cut flowers for the first time. Looking forward to growing more flowers next year to cut for the house, they bring a smile to everyone’s face when they walk past our allotment.
Wonderful prize. I’m new to vegetable growing having just started this year on tomatoes and courgettes. I hope to expand into beans, leeks and salad crops. Wish me luck 🤞😊
I am definitely looking forward to growing some anemones this spring, oh and the tulips…oh and the iris! Argh there’s too many!! 💕 😁
I am really excited to see my wildflower bed grow on my allotment which I have planted for the bees and butterflies that visit. I have enjoyed choosing the flowers in it and have been inspired lots by your videos Katie, so thank you! The vintage tub with those lovely bulbs would look fabulous too!
Katie, thanks for your inspiration. I have planted my spring bulbs in anticipation & I am really looking forward to the jewels appearing next year. Hugs to Teddy & keep doing what you do. It is appreciated. Chrissy
What a sweet, lovely giveaway! I’m looking forward to replicating your bulb lasagne and seeing all the lovely flowers
These look amazing! I kept saying to myself I need to order some some bulbs and never got round to it. I did order some bareroot apple maidens, which will be arriving in December. Plan is to prune and train them as step overs, may take a little while, but I’m looking forward to the reward of tasty apples in the years to come 😀
Looking forward to seeing my peppermint stick tulips.
Hello!
It’s a sign- I need to order some more tulip planters from you!!!
I would LOVE some tips on what to plant in cut flower bed to go with the bulbs that bloom in Spring? I’ve only this year started a cut flower bed & had some success with dahlias, cosmos, delphiniums and lupins. But would love some earlier flowering cut flowers.
Thanks!
Pippa xx
Looking forward to seeing my peppermint stick tulips in the spring.
Oh what a super giveaway 😍 to the lucky winner! Good luck 👍
Well I’m really excited to see the results of my Casmassia bulbs I treated myself to at the Malvern Plant Fair this year 😊
I have planted lots of spring bulbs over the allotment makes everything so cheerful, I am really looking forward to creating a dahlia bed over at the allotment, you have inspired me and keep me interested in trying and growing different veg and flowers.
Wow Katie, what a wonderful giveaway, My main spring job I’m so so so looking forward to is to get my shed up, painted and repaired inside and out, a few shelves up, with my new kettle and burner going, heaven (hopefully), take care x
Watching your lovely videos has spurred me on to create a little haven of my own. I got my little allotment this year just before covid and it has been soul saving. I genuinely look forward to watching your videos and seeing what you’re up to on your plot or what you’ve been making.
Thank you for sharing with us.
Next year I’m looking forward to growing more plants for nature, night scented stock being a fav.
And I’m gonna have a bash at growing some medicinal plants too. Chamomile being first on my list! X
What a wonderful giveaway! I particularly like the La Belle Hipoque tulip bulbs. Stunning. I’m looking forward to seeing the snowdrops I planted just yesterday. I’m currently preparing my back garden for a no dig garden so I’m looking forward to developing that over the winter and spring. Lots to look forward to!
Yours is the only gardening blog I read. You are so positive. The others just make me feel hopeless. Thankyou.
I’ve just got my allotment so I’m over-excited about growing ALL the things this spring. I have so many plans and they’ve already overflowed the space I have.
Looking forward to my bulbs coming up in the spring. Love your blogs and Teddy, he’s so cute
Looking forward to my spring bulbs coming up. Teddy is so damn cute
I’m a recent convert to actual gardening!! I’ve just planted some bulbs in containers so fingers crossed!! One of the narcissi is Sir Winston Churchill so I’m hoping to love it as much as you!!
Thanks for all your positive motivation and calm instructions!!
As I’m new to allotments I’m looking forward to growing everything! But particularly excited about runner beans and sweetcorn. We’ve grown some this year and they were delicious. I’ve so enjoyed your down to earth easy to follow videos….. Thankyou
Next year will be my first spring with the allotment! This weekend I have planted some daffodils and mixed tulips which I am so excited to see grow as they’ll be my first ever “own” flowers!!! Xx
Wow. What a lovely prize! Love you channel and lavender and loops too. Always keeps me motivated in both the garden and the sewing room 🖤 Thank you for all the hard work and time that goes into making such great content. x
I’m most excited for my alliums, they were late contenders last year as I planted them late. Oops. However we got the allotment in November last year so we’ve had more time this year to plan our spring bulbs 🤞🏻
Oh wow look at that tulip trough – great inspiration there! I’m looking forward to getting my veg seedlings started next Spring, along with some beautiful tulips!
How beautifull! You have chosen lovely combination of bulbs that will look amazing in one of your vintage pots. This time last year I moved to my new plot. It is a beautifull plot in Devon. I am getting to know what works well and what the challenges are and have found that it is very windy and exposed at the bottom of a steep field and it gets a bit waterlogged in these rainy winters. I’m not sure about planting bulbs into the ground and a lasagna planting is a great idea. To offer some shelter to my plot and for wildlife I will be planting an edible hedge this winter and I am looking forward to some springtime blossom and fruit to share with the birds for many years to come.
So excited to see your new video today Katie, you are always an inspiration to get planting and looking forward to what’s ahead in the gardening year . I think next spring will be one to embrace more than ever, hopefully with Covid19 behind us!. Absolutely love the vintage planter.. keeping my fingers crossed 🤞!. X
I have a new allotment. Planted some spring bulbs, garlic and broad beans. Excited to see everything grow and develop this spring.
I sent wrong e-mail in error.
I’ve all sorts planned for 2021, but the one I’m most giddy about is my new cutting garden. I’ve bagged one of our vegetable beds and have already planted foxgloves and Canterbury bells. Then I shall be planting dahlias. Can you imagine, I never used to like dahlias!!!!!!
What I am most exited about growing in spring are the sweet peas. They are always my favourite thing to plant. They just keep giving! And that smell! ❤️
What a lovely prize Katie!
Next spring will be our first in our new garden and after ten years of not having any outside space I am mostly looking forward to learning the ropes with our children ~ mini spades and forks in hand! Arthur has asked if we can grow some ‘dandelions and tulips’ – the latter I am more optimistic about! He also talks about volcano tomatoes but let’s see shall we.
What a wonderful , and generous, giveaway! I’m most excited about growing more veggies in the garden next year. It kept me sane this year during the Coronavirus lockdown and there’s nothing better than freshly harvested veg for dinner. xx
Just my type of giveaway 🤩
I love all the seasons but what I’m looking forward to most in spring is seeing fresh new shoots emerging. It always feels so hopeful
We have planted our first cut flower garden and I can’t wait to see it flourish!
I find that planting bulbs is a delight that I look forward to each year. As I plant I think of Spring and the optimistic possibilities of a new year. Planting bulbs has been even more important this year…. 2020
How exciting. I’d love to win this prize and can picture just the spot where I’d position it.
Next spring I’m looking forward planting chitted potatoes but not as many varieties as we tried this year. The other thing I’m really looking forward to is making our small allotment pond bigger.
Fingers crossed 🤞🏼
What a wonderful wonderful give away! I’ve got some gorgeous red “Cherry Delight” tulips to try, some pretty mixed muscari and some teeny pastel colour anemones 🌸
It’s my first time growing tulips and hyacinths so that’s what I am mostly looking forward to this spring. Love your posts so much! 🍃🌸
Can’t wait to grow tulips!
Thank you for the inspiration! I’ve never tried the ‘lasagne’ technique of layering bulbs at different depths, but I’m going to try it. I have a group of daffodils around an old bath tub on my allotment and when they flower the bright splash of colour really cheers me up and means spring is on the way.
We got our first allotment at the end of May so I’m really looking forward to a full growing year – doing all the planning now, seed box is full and greenhouse is with autumn seeds!
Have a new raised bed and have planted daffodils and tulips looking forward to seeing them bloom 🌸
This is a lovely giveaway. I’m looking forward to seeing the snowdrops come up in January, always a good sign that spring is on it’s way. I’m also looking forward to seeing the results of my first bulb lasagne which I planted up last week, can’t wait to see the results. I’ve done tulips, narcissi, crocus and some albums, all in shades of white and pale blue. Really enjoy your vlogs and can’t wait to see more of young Ted.
I cannot wait for the honesty I planted a few months ago, I love the flowers but the seed heads remind me of my grandparents house.
Fabulous giveaway!
Lockdown found me growing veg for the first time in years and the first ever time in this garden. I’m planning a third raised bed and a month by month growing scheme for next spring and I’m so excited!
I also love to plant tulips this time of year.
I’ve gone for Tulip Dolls minuet which has Red petals purple stripe with a green base and variegated foliage.
Also green star a dramatic green and white Tulip ,technically a lily flowering but with its strong green it must be a viridifora.
Together they look stunning on mass in my meadow, come April /may .
Something to look forward to.
I am hopefully moving house in the next few months, meaning I will miss the current bulb planting efforts that usually happen about now. Boy have I missed putting small nuggets of hope in soil with the trepidation of waiting to see if anything will come from it. But then annually being surprised by the colour and joy that same tub can bring. I am so looking forward to discovering hidden delights at the new house. I predict snow drops and crocus a’plenty. I have wild plans for the new, much larger garden, but am particularly looking forward to planting all the vegetables plants I currently dream of. Such a wonderful give away and one I am super covetous about. I hope it might have a new home at my new [very old] home!
Tulips are my favourite spring bulbs, I always look forward to watching them bloom 😄
Your gladioli in amongst the vegetables made me smile and inspired me to put a few calendula in my allotment this year and I’ve got sweetpea and sunflower seeds for next year. What I’m really looking forward to is taking my tiny grandson down to the allotment with me in his little wellies and giving him some seeds to plant!
I am so excited about everything that will come up in spring! I’ve felt so sad putting the allotment to bed and I’m dreaming of tulips, narcissus, ranunculus, poppies, dahlias…. ok everything 😊
I’ve just started planting bulbs at my allotment. I’ve gone for a purple and orange theme and I can’t wait to see it in full bloom!
I’m most excited about those little green shoots poking through the ground as things warm up and the garden gets ready to burst back into life! I’m loving autumn and the muted tones but there’s something about those bright, fresh spring tones! 😍
So glad I’ve discovered this blog! What a lovely website!
Tulips are my favourite. Pink Tulips. I always think my garden looks best in the Spring with the garden newly dug over & all the spring flowers coming up. Your giveaway looks gorgeous 💕
Oooh, what a lovely tub and bundle Katie, please pop my name in the hat! Will your furry friend be pawing the winner?
Bulb mania for me too , indoors (hyacinth forcing using vintage bulb vases) and out (trying some white daffodils).

Next spring for me it’s sweet peas and tulips. I just love the riot of colours and of course the intoxicating scent of the sweet peas!
Oh I love the tub, I’ve been given so pinky frilly, glamorous tulips 🌷 ( not the kind of flower I usually love but there’s something quite special about them) for my birthday and I can’t wait to plant them, but, I need a planter to try a bulb lasagne. Yours would be perfect, 🤞 and thanks!!
Katie, thanks for all your inspiration. I have planted lots of spring bulbs in anticipation of a jewel filled courtyard intheNew a year. I can’t wait to see all the little jewels appear. Hugs to Teddy. Keep doing what you do. Chrissy
I’m really looking forward to getting in the green house and making a start on some of those early vegetables.
I am looking forward to seeing the peony and roses I planted. Never grown either before and I normally don’t plant flowers at the allotment but it has turned more into a garden this year and my safe haven. So spring is going to be exciting. I will also get to plant up a new polytunnel which I have never had before. 2021 is looking bright and colourful.
Am looking forward to another season and all the promise it brings
I’m most looking forward to waking the dahlia’s up again! Just putting them to bed now and dreaming of springtime. Also just started a veg patch in our garden – built the raised beds – so I’m excited to get it all up and running! Eek. And introducing my toddler to the joy of growing things. Love the shop! Ellen x
This is a lovely idea! I’m most looking forward to planting my allium bulbs – I have pinball wizard and they’re the most amazing balls of purple!
Spring is the best!! I love seeing all the daffodils at the allotment sprouting through the earth and the colourful tulips that follow.
My 9 year old son has just planted 50 tulip bulbs in a new raised bed so we can’t wait to see that 🌷🌷🌷🌷
What a great giveaway and sure it will give a great display year on year, and will be the envy of any garden and will bring a smile even if not won
I’ve got my heart set on growing a variety of different coloured tulips I can use as cut flowers in different rooms in the flat. I also loved everyone’s lupins at the allotment so hoping I can improve my flowers grown at the allotment to make it look more like a garden as we don’t have our own at the flat.
I’m so excited to grow fruit at the allotment, especially strawberries and raspberries!
What a fab giveaway Katie. I’ve only been gardening for 18 months but the joy I’ve had, is immeasurable. I’m looking forward to growing my own veg next year, for the first time. I cannot wait to see my Spring flowers appear, I think looking forward to those simple delights will keep me going through the winter months ahead. I’m going to try and grow more plants from seed next year too.
Hi Katie the thing I am looking forward to grow in the spring is lovely bulbs and flowers
I’m really looking forward to seeing my veg beds full and growing after mulching them to death this week!
Hi Katie. What a wonderful gift. Spring is my absolute favourite time of year and next year I want to see lots of colour in my garden and allotment. Lots of tulips is my dream for next Spring. I absolutely adore ‘La Belle Epoque’ and would love to have these in my garden.
I planted some giganteum alliums that if my cats don’t manage to dig up, they are trying their hardest to do so, I am super excited to see them in spring.
I love Spring and planning out a new year of growing at the allotment! Dahlias are my addiction do will be adding even more but plan to revamp my beds and combine them with tulips! 🌷 Happy growing!
I’ve planted some Think Pink tulips and I can’t wait to see if they’re as gorgeous as the picture on the packet! As long as the resident squirrels in my garden don’t dig them up first 🤦🏼♀️
I for one can not wait for the first spring morn to see my tulips and daffodils pop through the soil. Giving me a well deserved greeting while brightening up my small garden.
Love the content – keep it up!
Thank you for the opportunity to enter a chance of winning this lovely giveaway. Like so many lockdown really made me focus on the garden this year. Now in lockdown n02 it’s the first year I’m thinking about bulbs and the hope of Spring! I’ve brought some bulbs on a whim in Wilko to try but like you too I’ve ordered for the first time from FarmerGracey. I’d love to compliment the garden with a bulb lasagne. Xxx
Hi Katie, only found your vlogs recently, I do so enjoy them. I also love spring bulbs, they herald the nicer days to come.

Just looking to plant a bulb lasagne today. Thanks for the tips Katie
I’m excited for the snowdrops and bluebells to come up under the fruit trees in my mini woodland area that I have created, and the tulips and daffodils in front of the new willow fedge we will be planting in December.
Lots more bulbs to plant out before then. 🙂
How very kind and I hope you will love your spring garden . I love all sorts of bulbs but slightly more summer than spring I guess I am hoping to have some ‘Queen Mum ‘ Agapanthus in bloom next year . Saw them this year for the first time on a few garden visits and was smitten . THANKYOU
Caroline
Hi! I’m so inspired, I’m definitely going to do my first lasagne today! Absolutely love the vintage containers <3 xx
I’m looking forward to being able to share Spring at the allotment with my family and friends. This year was my first year with an allotment and due to lockdown, I didn’t get the chance to experience it with anyone else. I’ve drawn out my plans for next year and also planted a bed full of my Nana’s favourite spring bulbs (she is 92 with dementia) that she will get to come and see. She used to be an allotmenteer until she gave up her plot 10 years ago so definitely following in her footsteps
Great giveaway! I’m excited to grow tulip ‘Francoise’ as that was my grandmother’s name 🙂
I can’t wait to grow a wild flower patch next to my wildlife pond to attract loads of insects and pollinators to the garden
so excited to see my ranunculus corms starting to sprout, ready for next spring…… it’s the first time I’m growing them. Thanks for sharing your allotment journey, it’s such an inspiration!
Spring bulbs are one of the first signs that winter is being left behind!
I’ve made some new flower beds in our garden, I can’t wait to add some colourful flowers to brighten it up. I’m most looking forward to growing some sweet peas next year but I’m looking forward to the tulips and daffodils coming up in the spring as it means we get to spend more time outdoors in the sunshine.

Lovely video and giveaway, Katie! Everything is always exciting to grow but I have finally got my act together and planted enough winter and spring bulbs and plants to feed the early bees and pollinators, when the garden is usually bare: Snowdrops; native bluebells; fritillaries; crocuses; hellebores; pink pussy willow; and mahonia. I usually find myself apologising guiltily to any bees who come to my garden looking for food early in the year but this year it will be so rewarding to see them leave well fed.
I can’t wait for the tulips to make an appearance, to me they mark the start of new life in the garden after the winter. Then the hyacinths with their lovely scent lifting the garden.
I’ve been busy sowing and planting lots of our favourite veg to overwinter for the first time this year, so I’m really excited to see how it all flourishes and ‘springs’ into life and grows on in early Spring next year. Fingers crossed it’s a huge success, but regardless, it’s been so much fun. I’ve loved how creative I’ve had to be to convert my raised beds into low tunnels and add cold frames, as I don’t have a full size greenhouse or room for a poly tunnel in my garden, and I wanted it to stay calm and relaxing as well as being an abundant and productive space.
What a gorgeous prize! I love watching the hyacinths when they first appear.
On my allotment we are trying to create a wild flower side because it doesnt get much sun due to trees that over shadow us, so I’m quite looking forward to planting lots of wild flowers like my favourites corn flowers, I love the different shades of lilac there so delicate.
Spring is always my favourite time of year.. I love the ‘new birth’ of all that growing that goes unnoticed, underground.. which is why I intended on more bulb planting this autumn! And being a bit more adventurous with different varieties.. so me and my friendly ‘Jenny’ Wren that visits can admire all our hard work and beautiful spring colours
Lovely giveaway! I have just taken on a quarter allotment and have taken a lot of inspiration from your old allotment plans when looking at how to design my layout. Most excited for the Spring – I have planted a bulb lasagne in some pots on my patio and am looking forward to seeing these grow – particularly the tulips!
I’m really looking forward to seeing the elephant garlic grow that I have just planted – also I’m keen to try growing some squash and pumpkins for the first time.!
Great giveaway . I’ve just been given my first allotment after a 2 year wait, excited to get growing but needs clearing first. Looking forward to growing a mixture of veg and flowers, especially sweet peas.
I’m looking forward to Spring already. I want to try Crown Prince squash next year and perfect my tomato game! Great giveaway Katie- thanks.
I have acquired an allotment this autumn. All the hard digging and preparation has been done… now I can sit back and look forward to planting dahlias, gladioli, sweetpeas… oh and maybe some veg for good measure!
Thank you for giving such a lovely prize away as a free giveaway
Coming to the end of my 1st year as an allotment holder. It went well but now looking forward to doing it all properly. I have a plan and I now know what works for us as a family. I always come here for tips Katie. Love the you tube videos.
I am looking forward to attempting to grow cucamelons for the first time, and seeing the daffodils again.
Looking forward to the first year of my woodland area coming into bloom , some of the bulbs are already poking their heads up even though the squirrel has done its best to pull them all up!!!
I just love watching everything you do, the allotment ( my first year for trying to grow vegetables) your knitting, the things you make and sell and now that gorgeous puppy ! But the thing I’m most jealous of is your apple tree in that gorgeous container, so I’m going to try and copy your idea with the spring bulbs ( tulips my fav )in a container x
I’m just starting with an allotment and I I love watching your videos and finally be able to put into practice all what I’ve learnt with you. I am planning to plant artichokes and raspberries and many veggies for the first time. Thanks for all the knowledge you are sharing.
