0:01 Well it's late September and everybody's got a little dead spot like this after

0:06 last year's winter. Oh there's plants that've died and you've

0:11 got a bare area and what to put in it. Now bulbs for next spring, hyacinths,

0:15 bedding hyacinths, which are a smaller one, not the ones that go in the pots that are

0:19 great big showy flowers but the smaller ones imported in the 16th

0:24 century by some Dutchman that wanted to make money, or some Frenchman that

0:28 wanted to make perfume; these are wonderful little things always remember

0:32 pointed end up the roots come out with a bottom now this is a bit stoney and all

0:37 I'm gonna do is incorporate a little bit of compost not too much because they

0:41 stoney is actually good for the roots, they hate being stood in water,

0:46 and then it's as simple as that. Just a small depression, these come in collections and

0:53 it actually, whether you buy the collections you save a bit of money,

0:56 which is always good with me but they cost 25-35p. A really

1:02 good value and the collections are good too. This is a mixture, all different

1:07 colours that'll probably grow to something like twelve inches so they're not going

1:12 to be too tall and get caught by the wind or get battered around but as you

1:18 come out of an evening on a nice quiet evening I tell you what the perfume, the

1:23 flowers, beautiful. Your wife's gonna fall in love with you all over again, they're

1:28 a wonderful thing.
