Some of my bulbs are starting to grow, do I need to protect them?

Established bulbs will often show signs of early growth, due to the warm soil. You should find that the growth will slow down as we get into colder weather. They may need some protection from slugs, but most are very hardy and usually able to cope with winter cold.
