Daffodils are comming up anyone else seeing theres?

14 years ago

I have some Daffodils nosing there way up along the south side of my house, where the snow melts first. My aunt also has some daffodils sprouting along the south side of her house. But it's way to early for Daffodils in the main gardens to sprout. I was wondering if anyone else has seen there daffodils sprouting yet?

Anyone else playing with their daffodil bulbs?

Is the reason for digging to keep them blooming? This Sat I will be with a bunch of folks who grow daffs to show and will try to remember to ask about the 3 year digging rotation schedule that so many try to follow. If I remember correctly, it had to do with them needing to be lifted/dug so the surrounding soil in the holes could be amended. Over time, the blooms, of some cultivars anyway, will decrease in size if they do not have proper nutrients. I'm not sure, but lack of good nutrients 'could' also affect the bloom color. Don't hold me to that though as I will try to verify that. Usually too, when daffs are planted for growing and showing, I 'think' no more than 3 bulbs are planted, spaced out in a hole. That allows the bulbs to multiply without becoming crowded, thus smaller bulbs, and smaller blooms, or no blooms at all if they are entirely too crowded. Some daffs are a lot more prolific than others and seem to multiply a 'lot' more than others. In my opinion, Ice Follies is a great prolific daff. On the other hand, 'Mount Hood' still has the original patch I planted with fewer and fewer blooms. I wonder if they are crowded or if they are lacking nutrients. Some cultivars are just by nature bigger bulbs, so it could possibly be that they are crowded, regardless of how many were planted in each hole and how they were spaced. Do you plan to dig them next year? I'm not suggesting that diggings one's daffs every 3 years is for everyone, because I don't see it as necessary at all, unless one is considering entering them in competition. As far as the FAQ go, I feel they are to be geared toward the casual gardener, growing daffs, or whatever for their own enjoyment in their gardens. Sue

Well the cold weather has passed. I had lows temps in the lower 20s both Saturday morning and this morning! did everyones plants make it through, Mine have, and now I see it will stay warm for at least a couple of days. Last weeks warmth really brought up my Daffodils, Tulips and Hycathins. The snoe has been gone for well over a week now, and In my main garden, Daffodils are already over an inch and a half tall already! On the south side of my house where it stays warm, I've got daffodils nearly in bloom! I posted a picture below. My aunts daffs along the south side are almost blooming as well.

Is anyone else ignoring the bulbs and looking for hostas popping up?
Q

I abandoned my hostas last fall for an extended, unplanned trip to Dubai so this spring is not only filled with the usual over-the-moon excitement of re-appearing hostas, but filled with trepidation as well. Today I will do a thorough "walk-about" which translates to a "thorough poking about" LOL - know what I mean? The kind where gloves don't exist - has to be bare fingers that at the end of the exercise will take time to brush clean again! Oh joy! Gotta go! P.S. Almost forgot your question, lol! Answer:. an unabashed, resounding YES.

I had some sprouting in Dec and Jan. I'm looking forward to the snow cover leaving so I can see what others may have emerged by now.

Pics, pics then if you folks are enjoying them in full bloom!

Please....

I saw one intrepid daffodil poking through the mulch about a month ago, and then we got bombarded with several major snows and haven't seen a glimpse of the ground since. I'm sooooo looking forward to spring! I planted 100 daffodil bulbs in November (along with a couple hundred other assorted bulbs). Can't wait!

Daffodils Already blooming! well wouldn't that be a treat at the end of Febuary! I was surprised enough to see that I had some coming up, They are always early on the south side of our house, Daffodils in my main sun garden wont be sprouting until around Mid to late March.

Actually last Spring I addidently left a pot of daffodils half burried in the ground! I was meaning to plant them later but I forgot, and even those are coming up! I sure hope them being partly exposed to the cold didn't harm the bulbs any! the ground is mostly unthawed next to the foundation of our house on the south side so I was able to get to pot off them and put them in the ground with very little root damage!

Here is a pic of what the pot of daffodils looked like the other day after being in the ground for nearly a year! What do you guys think, do I have a good chance that these will survive? the sprouts seem healthy, and the bulbs don't seem squishy or have a bad smell, like what happends to most of my daffs!

Mine have been coming up for a couple of weeks, yesterday I had one lone crocus blooming, today I have 2. That looks like a healthy pot of daffs to me, I bet they will bloom fine.

I have them popping up everywhere and was wondering if this is the usual time for them to pop up as we have been having warmer that usual weather. Anyone know when they are suppose to pop up in Zone 6? I was kind of worried but seems like I am not the only one. Thanks.
