Are my bulbs coming up too early?

No.

That I can't answer. 2" - 3" deep would sound about right to me. Now if
you had bluebells (wild hyacinth, not the Scottish bluebell, which we
call harebells...) about to flower, I'd be moving up to Fife!

Mine are "through" but not flowering...

How did you know that the OP is in Fife? Do tell...

It's hidden in the subject.


Eight hours too late, Martin. She got there before you!

Still, good to see that 'slow gardening' is still working over there. ;-)
