Lily bulbs

This my first year of growing lilies, not a great fan personally but the OH likes them. My question is, do they multiply or are the bulbs sterile?

I have no idea of the type as it was a mixed 8 pack from Wilko's.

Also does anyone have a recomendation of any varieties?

If you're brave enough,  show us a picture of where and how you store your seeds.  I'll show you mine if you show me yours (after I've tidied it up a bit!)  At the moment most seeds are scattered over the spare bed.

What was I looking for, again?

  Perennial Veg?

Hello Folks

Continuing with my planning for next year I wondered what perennial veg you folks grow and the successes / failures you’ve experienced?
 
I sowed Asparagus from seed this year so these will be going into the plot either the end of this year or next.
 
I’ve also ordered some Taunton Deane Kale after seeing a post from Sarriss.

*** Mods, I hope this is in the correct section? ***

Another, or maybe the same, partridge on nextdoor's roof ridge.  Got a pic this time.  Not a good one as the zoom on my tablet isn't great.

  Something attacked my onion seedlings
Posted by: Can the Man - 04-06-2020, 08:00 PM - Replies (14)

I planted some red onion seedlings in among some white onion seedlings which had established themselves last Monday only to find this evening they have been attacked by something either bird or animal.
They even managed to dislodge the name tag.

I will post photos in a few minutes when I resize

This is how they looked on Monday evening 
   

Here you can see where they have been pulled up and chopped 
   

Here you can see them chopped and on the top left holes where they were pulled out
   

Better close up of the top left
   
Better close up of the chopped plants
   





Anybody ever experienced this before or any ideas ?

Thanks
