Compared to last year, the daffodils are a little more than a week behind schedule. Maybe only half have even pushed-up shoots. At least they are stronger in numbers- close to 500 more than last year. There's a good variety of fragrant, showy, intricate, unique, and traditional daffodils. And even though there was a lot of planning involved in their placement, there will always be surprises.
So far, it seems the farm bed daffodils have multiplied quite well. These should be yellow/yellows that will be used to continually bulk-up the forsythia bed. The front bed will have to be watched closely and marked for areas that need to be planted. CG is anticipating $1 gallon pots (3 to 5 bulbs apiece) available at walmart following the end of the blooming cycle.
The next few days are expected to be sunny with highs in the low 60's. This should kick the plants into high gear, and signal the start to a busy gardening season. Big things are expected from the daffodils this year- and it should start....any day...
