We live in new england (zone 5) and have some daffodils in our
landscape. They have bloomed and lost there flowers. Is there any
suggested ways to cleanup or cover the leftover foliage without
impacting next year's bloom?

Thanks, rw

My mother just left them alone until the foliage died; my wife folds the
foliage over and ties it with one leaf, then pulls the foliage when it
has died. Both ways work well; my wife's way gives a neater appearance.
