My neighbour knows I'm trying to start up my garden from scratch (currently huge lawn and sorry beech hedge with the odd tree) he has just handed me in a few plants and a bag of daffodil bulbs. Some are done but most are still quite firm.
Question is, will they grow if I plant them out?
Should I plant as normal or do something different.

If you plant the dafodils now, they won't come up till next spring as they need a period of cold weather, but it sounds likely that some of them will survive.
