Daffodils Multiplies And Too Small To Flower
CR Crafts via pbs (Wed, 21 Apr 2021 17:43:35 PDT)

There are probably THOUSANDS of Narcissus 'Foundling'. Only two will
flower because they have split and multiplied into tiny offsets. This
morning I used a spading fork to dig perhaps 20%. Potted up close to 100
of the larger bulbs. Now need to harden my heart and toss the remainder
in the compost heap. I plan to use a liquid fertilizer until they go
dormant, then replant somewhere else.

But I'm having a hard time tossing away the smaller than baby pea sized
bulbs. There are simply too, too many of them.

Let's see if I dig another 20% this year. And then next year. And the
year after that.

Judy in New Jersey where we have a freeze warning for tonight. The
forecast is for 31 degrees Fahrenheit. Piffle! That's not a worry. And
anyway, frost free around here is after Mother's Day.
