Default 300% survival

Yes that's right............

A few weeks ago I found a load of daff bulbs that I had forgotten about from
autumn 2002, some were still in their nets and others were in poly bags with
10 bulbs to a bag.
I dumped them outside meaning to dump them, looked at them around Xmas time
and found many were sprouting.
Today finally got round to doing something with them, and was really
surprised to find that the ones in the poly bags had a great survival rate,
one bag actually had 32 bulbs all sprouting(from the 10 bulbs).
So far have planted up 2 bread trays all bulb thick and am expecting to get
another 2 trays tomorrow, so those worried about planting out their bulbs
from last Autumn take note.
These bulbs had been in an old caravan for around 12 months then outside for
about 8 weeks.
