Hi Jackie, leave the topgrowth on your bulbs as it helps to feed them for next year. I know it can be very untidy, so gather the leaves into bunches and tie them together. After a few weeks they will have died off and you can just lift the dead leaves and take them away. Scatter over the bulbs with some blood, fish and bone or your preferred fertiliser. Plant whatever else you want to grow in the spaces between the bulb clumps. Hope it works well for you.
