» jerrib - What a nice breath of spring

I enjoyed reading your article. I have never started daffodils from seed, but with a coldframe I bet it is really satisfying to watch things grow.

Hi Jerri,
It IS fun to go check the coldframe to see how things are growing. The downside about growing daffodils from seed is that it takes about 5-6 years for the seed to make a bulb to reach blooming size. At least it takes that long in my area. In warmer climates, I'm told they sometimes get bloom in 4 years.
