"Wrap-Up of the 2000 Daffodil Season"
Extract taken from Clay's personal daffodil scrape book. Year V as the Novice, 2000. Daffyclay's personal daffodil show report for the season. This is my fifth year showing daffodils and as I meet and get to know people with 20 - 30 years showing experience, it makes me feel that I am still a novice. Nevertheless, the 2000 daffodil season was a strange one.

Daffodil Digging Time
July, the hotest month in my state of Maryland, is also the month for digging daffodil bulbs. The daffodil foliage has died back or is dying back and going dormant as it is now six to eight weeks after the bloom period. As the daffodils go to their dormant period, it's the best and safest time to dig and thin daffodils.
