I live in London UK and have just got a new house. Where I want to put
a pond there are loads of daffodils emerging. Can these be moved
safely ? If so how ?


It can be done, but not recommended if you want them to bloom this and
next year. If planted right, they are at least six inches deep. If
you can get that whole clump, have the new holes dug and slip them
right into the new holes, water them, they may be just fine.

Worst case scenario is you won't get a bloom this year and probably
not next year.

The good news is daffodils are cheap and you can always buy more.
