We ask schools to plant their bulbs on the same date because this helps to keep conditions of the investigation the same, which is important to ensuring a fair test. Some schools will be on holiday on planting day. If you can’t plant on this date then please plant as close to this date as possible. Please note the date that you planted when entering your first weather comments. 

Remember to take photos / videos for the Bulbcast competition.

Pupils will need to plant their bulbs and attach the label they have prepared to help them identify their pot. You will need to have general, peat free compost ready for this activity. No trowels or spades are necessary. Discuss safety rules with the class before planting.
