Yesterday I found one daff blown down by the gales; I'm surprised the

What is it on daff stems that puts off the slugs?

They're dafft? I have seen similar oddities in their attacks on
other plants.

I could say that the wind has been treating my bulbs like Michael
Finnegan, but most simply have peeked out and decided to stay in
bed.

Oh, and I got less than a centimetre of rain last night, despite
the forecast.
