- The old allotment has been dug up and all the bulbs collected, except there weren't actually that many to collect so I got to go bulb shopping. Come watch to see what I saved, what I bought and what new flowers are going in to the garden for this spring.
I'm Pheigi at From The Witch's Garden, a Scottish girl growing cut flowers on my allotment in Kanagawa prefecture in Japan. Remember to subscribe if you want to follow along and see how the garden changes and evolves over the seasons.

Those black tulips are going to be beautiful! I can't grow any here because they are deers favorite snack. So daffodils it is💖
They are amazing aren’t they. I know they won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but I love them!!!
I think you will find those little hyacinth bulbs you brought online are most likely grape hyacinths (Muscari ) bulbs
I am concerned they will be very small but the bulbs are bigger than my muscari bulbs and the picture is definitely more of the full hyacinth form of flower. Also I have never seen deep red and peach muscari for sale. I am thinking they will just be very small/short hyacinth but I’m hoping the bulbs will bulk up over time as the colours are amazing.
I do not know if you can find the rhizomes in Japan but have you considered growing papaver orientale? They have gorgeous colours and frills and they are right into your colour pallet. Buying bulbs can go very easily overboard, but I think you are doing well. With the Netherlands right next to Germany, we can get pretty much every bulb very easily and veryyy cheaply. So I've ended up buying about 15 kilos of bulbs just for my balcony. I'm hoping for a ton of blooms this spring because the blooms yield from all the perennials I had last year was not impressive at all. I look forward to seeing your bulbs in your new garden develop.
I do love oriental poppy but it is still illegal to grow them in Japan due to the effects of the opium wars. I have to be really careful with the poppies I grow here. I am very jealous of your bulb haul, your balcony is going to look amazing!
Maybe tulip bulbs? The ones that might be dafs or not in the beginning...
I'm over the heat too! ugh
Those black tulips are my favorite...Queen of the Night. Hope the last trip to the old plot was good!
Yay for black tulip lovers! I heard Kay Von D moved to the middle of nowhere and planted a huge field of black tulip behind her gothic mansion and now it’s a big tourist attraction. I only have 5 bulbs but it’s a start, might take me longer to grow a gothic mansion though. I will add it to next seasons buy list 🤣
@@fromthewitchsgarden Yes to both! I'd take a field and a yurt...haha!
It’s Daffodils 22:57
Yay more daffodils, thank you!
