My daffs have now finished. Do I bend in half and tie or not.

I've never seen anyone do that before, until I saw my neighbour do it
yesterday!
She said "I know you're not meant to do it, but ... "

Years ago I was told to tie daffs. I thought that was a stupid idea
and so ignored it.

It's something very old gardeners used to do to make things look tidier.
I think most of us can think of better things to do with the time!

I visited a garden a few years ago, where the gardener had _plaited_ the
leaves before tying them!



Sounds a bit precious to me! Must be short of something to do.
