Interesting video. The Chinese name of daffodil is fancifully 'a fairy on water.' Animals (cattle, sheep, goats) are smart enough to not eat them. Humans who are brave enough to try it often end up in hospital. The culprit is in the tube root (which has lycorine, with 4 oxygens and 1 nitrogen).
Yes it's best tp do it just after they finish flowering in our experience as its easier to see where they are . You could do it before flowering but they would probbaly not flower as well that year.
Depends on the weather if it rains you may not need to water them at all. If its dry id give them a good water once a week until they start to die back
Not answering the question but my chickens love daffodil leaves, when I let them out they eat them down to base. The plants and chickens do just fine with the exchange
One minute people say plant them into nice compost. Next youre sticking a spade in what looks like firm soil that doesnt actually fully encompass each bulb. Also why not make the effort to get them more vertical. Dont get myself.
Thank you for the feedback Tony . We are naturalising the daffodils into a meadow . They have been growing happily in another field . They seem to cope with the poor soil quite well . I think Mike just wanted to get them all planted out quickly . As you say if you just have a few to plant worth taking the time and improving the soil, and setting them upright . We had several 100 to move, and they are not a fancy variety so should do fine where we have planted them
Beautiful flower sir😊❤
So nice of you thanks ☺️
Thank you
You're very welcome ☺️
Brilliant time saving technique, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi there! I see you published this about a year ago... How did the transplants work out for the season this year?
yes we did they worked really well and we had lots of daffodils . We need to move some more this year

Thank you for the information.
So do you get the big dreams before hand
Sorry not sure I understand the question thank you for watching
Hi! Does it matter what time of the year you do this? Ty!
Yes it's best tp do it just after they finish flowering in our experience as its easier to see where they are . You could do it before flowering but they would probbaly not flower as well that year.
How often should you water them after replanting?
Depends on the weather if it rains you may not need to water them at all. If its dry id give them a good water once a week until they start to die back
@@gardenerscottageblakeney1316 thank you!!
You’re very welcome
You’re very welcome hope you managed to divide your daffodils successfully
What is strimming?
Strimming is when you use a hand held grass cutter to cut long grass . It’s a motorised strimmer usually powered by petrol or electric
What kind of feed? Compost?
We are using mushroom compost and garden compost on our borders this year to feed the plants
Question… can I plant daffodils in field with cows/cattle?? Will they eat them or will the daffodils harm them ??
Not sure about cows / cattle. Ours are in a field with sheep and the sheep don't touch them . I think they must taste bad

That’s interesting to know . Our chickens don’t seem interested in daffodils thankfully
