Lachenalia in the ground

I have upside down terra cotta pots where snails are bad, which they
love, so can dispose of them that way. Also use Quash, a NZ snail and
slug killer which has iron as it's base so doesn't harm birds etc.
The Lachenalias survive just fine, and have now finished here.

So: does anyone grow Lachenalia outdoors in Mediterranean climates plagued
with gastropods? How do you do it?

Today the north wind was blowing in a nice cool breeze. So I started potting
up some bulbs that had outgrown their pot last winter. I had them tucked
away in my house for the constant temp and humidity free climate. Lachenalia
uridiflora, their name tag showed. When I looked inside the paper bag I
noticed that they had already started to sprout. If they had a voice I think
they would say that I was too slow at getting them into some soil.
