Last Call to Plant Daffodils

Posted by Barbara M. Martin Nov 4, 2006

Plant more daffodils! That is my motto and it should be your motto, too. There are never too many daffodils in the world. Daffodils are eye candy of the first tier come spring.

Daffodil bulbs are flowers ready to go, so they are pretty much fool proof and require no green thumb whatsoever. It's quick and easy to plant a handful of bulbs in a stray corner of the yard or flower bed or shrub border or edge of the woods or wherever you have a sunny spot.

So if daffodils are now calling your name and you are considering doing the deed but concerned about what you might be getting yourself into as far as ongoing maintenance chores, Relax . For just how simple it is, see: DAFFODIL CARE . Actually it is so wonderfully easy to grow daffodils (basically, you don't HAVE to do anything) I can't believe I came up with a whole article about caring for daffodils, but there we are. Chalk it up to the gift of gab.

IF you are still on the fence about this, I appeal to your sense of civic duty and responsibility. As winter's end draws near, we are all in desperate need of flowers and sunshine and the surges of spring. So get out there and do your part for community beautification and mental health.
