A year of growing Daffodil — detailed seasonal notes

Here are my notes from twelve months of growing Daffodil:

Spring: earliest crocuses and snowdrops emerging in late winter. This was the moment that confirmed the whole venture. I focused on planting at three times the depth of the bulb during this period which set up the rest of the year.

wide range of flower forms, heights, and flowering times developed steadily through the warmer months. blindness with no flowers produced from weak or immature bulbs appeared in summer and required prompt treatment. The plant in a cut flower garden for fresh indoor arrangements performed better than I'd expected for the position. Overall: a rewarding year. The investment of attention is paid back generously.
