Daffodils

So I will know where they are
ok.
don't wait until fall to dig them
up. they start putting out new roots
to get ready for next spring in the
fall. it's best to dig them up a few
weeks after they've died back. around
here (mid-Michigan) that means anywhere
from mid-June to late August (some
varieties are green longer).
i mark them with sticks, stones or
plastic stakes. if there aren't many to
mark i put three markers that triangulate
the location. that way if one of the
markers gets moved it's not too bad.
i move clumps of growing daffodils
at times. it's not the best thing to
do, but sometimes ya gotta do what ya
gotta do. take the whole clump up and
replant it immediately and water it in.
