Default lifting bulbs from pots

I have ten pots of daffs narcius (pardon spelling) and tulips. Don't know
what to do for best, lift them and store or leave in pots. I have room to
keep them in the pots.

If you suggest lifting, could you give me instructions for doing so.
Everytime I have done that before the bulbs have gone mouldy.


I also grow my daffs in pots but I always need the same pots for
annuals later. I have not got a spare plot for putting the Daffs in to
die down so I have to ditch them as I find that if I take them out of
pots to dry there has not been enough feed in pots to make flower for
next year.

My neighbour has, as a consequence, just acquired about 500 bulbs and I
shall buy a fresh sackful next autumn. It does take the uncertainty out
of the operation though.
