Daffodils doing me proud

[andrewo]

This is the first flush of flowers planted in front of my raspberries.

[Shortie]

I'm getting a green tinge to me Andrewo... I have leaves... lots of leaves, but very few flowers....

[andrewo]

Isn't that odd, you're much further south, maybe it is just the variety of daffodil but I thought you'd be out and blooming by now. Just look at it this way, by the time mine wilt yours will be coming into their own.

[Shortie]

Thanks for trying to make me feel better..

Just seemed really odd this year as I always know daffs are out for mothers day and planned to pick dome for mine from my garden but I ended up eith only one in flower... ho hum

[Clarea1]

I have some daffs come up in the middle of my veg plot, I haven't the heart to move them yet because we have waited so long for spring. They are further down than I have got too yet so I don't need the space. When they die back I will have to move them though. Bless!

[Shortie]

That's it... rub it in even more....

Its very noticable the difference that a bit of light makes.

Our front garden is south facing and the daffs have been out for a week or more, but in the north facing back garden, they are about a fortnight behind.

[nick the grief]

Mine in the shady border are just out & some in pots are not open yet! But your right PW, the last week or so with nice bright days have made no end difference.

[andrewo]

The bed in question is raised and south facing (the daffs in question are Mount Hood I think), noted today that my double headers are coming up but those outside against a wall and get sun only from the west late on are yet to open bar tete a tete.

Our daffs are really late too. Some Easters there are none left to decorate the house with and so far I've only managed to pick a couple of bunches (planted 1000 bulbs of various varieties). Remember- Easter is very late this year too! One year the children had to pick dandilions for the table!!! We really must be at least a month behind.

I've got quite a few daffs out now, I think we've got the better of the north/south divide this year andrewo. The February gold daffs have only come out in the last week or so which is quite late & I have lots of dwarf & larger ones all in flower.

[Birdie Wife]

Still none out in my garden. They're trying though, and the heads are swelling and turning yellowy. There are lots of them though, so I'm looking froward to when they all burst open, and I'm going to cut a load and bring them indoors to cheer me up. Currently there is sleet and snow battering the windows at 35mph.

[bramble]

Most of my daffs are fading now except a couple of pots. I have been dead heading them since last week.
Moving them all under the balcony now to make way for my pots of lilys.

[sewer rat]

Slightly further south than Birdie wife, same weather today and same position with my daffs too

[Jaxom]

Tulips are just a few days away from opening up in my back Garden and Forget-me-not flowers are just forming buds. Dafs have been out since about March 10th.
