Hiya
I have ten pots of daffs narcius (pardon spelling) and tulips. Don't know
what to do for best, lift them and store or leave in pots. I have room to
keep them in the pots.

If you suggest lifting, could you give me instructions for doing so.
Everytime I have done that before the bulbs have gone mouldy.

Thanks

PS grew some Sir winston Churchill daffs from BQ they are gorgeous and so
fragrant.

I always feed mine well (with tomato food) and leave in pots. they seem to
last for years like this.

I always end up saying 'me three'. Strange that ;o)

Where are you all going?

Janet.

Thanks I will do that then sounds like a lot less work than emptying and
drying and replanting.

Hi Hayley
Where do you leave your potted bulbs during the summer?

I also grow my daffs in pots but I always need the same pots for
annuals later. I have not got a spare plot for putting the Daffs in to
die down so I have to ditch them as I find that if I take them out of
pots to dry there has not been enough feed in pots to make flower for
next year.

My neighbour has, as a consequence, just acquired about 500 bulbs and I
shall buy a fresh sackful next autumn. It does take the uncertainty out
of the operation though.
