Spring is shifting into summer and that means that, if you haven't already, it's time for lifting daffodil bulbs and lifting spring bulbs after flowering so that they can be stored until it's time to plant them again in Autumn. Normally, this would only be for pots and planters. But rather than leaving my daffodil bulbs in the ground, I want to move and spread them through the orchard. This can solve problems where daffodils are not flowering or blooming, also known as being 'blind' or 'daffodil blindness'. Lifting and replanting them will make them less crowded, improve how well they flower and increase next year's spring display.

In the Northeast of the USA my ground is so full of little stones that digging mine up was so time consuming! An uneducated person mowing my lawn mowed them all down before they even bloomed.😢 I'm in a town that requires us to keep tje grass below 9". Where I lived before there was a lot less restrictions & I let 2.5 acres that was previously mowed go wild. It's so much better for the enviroment! Thanks for your informative video. ☮️💞🙏🏼

Great video as always Niall! Fascinating information about daffodil blindness and the science behind it, I've definitely learned something new today. Very cool. Good luck digging up the rest of them! Seems like a massive undertaking....

wow Niall, that's a lot of work. What do you think the chances are that you'll miss a few and find them as little pops of colour next year? I can't wait to see your garden plans come to fruition. Will stay tuned for that.

Yeah it’s gonna keep me busy, but it’ll be worth it! I’m almost guaranteed to miss a few, but they’ll be happy surprises in the spring! 😂

I can’t wait to see your garden in next spring. Just curious why bulbs you are going to purchase?

@niallgardens 4 жыл бұрын

Cheers Mutsumi! I think I’m going to go with lots more daffodils (white ones because I’m not such a fan of the yellow ones), fritillaria bulbs (the just look stunning when they flower), and then camassia bulbs for some colour towards the end of spring! We also have some bluebells and snowdrops... I’d love to increase their numbers too 😄

Thanks a lot. Good luck with all that work. Get that ivy out of the trees, mate, before it kills them.

I have double Daffodils planted on a grave.. Is it ok to leave them in the ground and let them bloom next year? Thanks!

@ellenruddy7062 Жыл бұрын

Question. I’m lifting my bulbs and have hundreds. Can I plant them in field where cattle graze? Will it harm cattle or will cattle harm daffodils?? Thanks in advance

Hi Ellen! I need to be honest and say that I don’t actually know the answer to that - especially when it comes to livestock. Apologies!
