Decimated daffs

If this weather ever give's up and you have some leaves left, give them a feed of GP fertiliser. BFB or Growmore will do.

If you can, leave the leaves to die right off - I know they don't look good like that but the bulb is supposed to draw the nutrients back in that way.

Sorry to hear about your daffs - mine don't look good either, but that's because they're finished!!

Thanks for everyone's comments - I will try feeding with BFB and see what happens.

Ally - if they have not come up by now it is unlikely that they will. Snowdrops are particularly difficult to grow from the dry bulbs - they do much better when planted 'in the green' which means that they are planted when they have green leaves. Where did you plant your bulbs - is it possible that they were planted somewhere very wet and that they rotted away.

Some good news with my daffs - some of them have flowered even though their outer leaves were totally shredded - it is not the usual display that we have but just shows how nature can come through.
