All In A Row

[Nyboy]

In the fall when daffodil bulbs where marked down 75% off I went a little crazy. I filled a shopping cart, my plan was to plant groups all over my woods. Never happened, as winter got closer one slow day at work, I handed bags of bulbs and shovels to my guys and said plant. I did not give any instructions other then plant. All afternoon they planted daffodil bulbs. Now spring is here and I have hundreds of daffodil flowering: all in straight rows like corn !!!!!!!! Driving me crazy, it is the most unnatural look for flowers. Think I might tell client to pick big bouquets. What are you suppose to do to daffodils for cut flower?

Too bad they did that. Now you are going to have to dig them up after leaves dry up and replant in the fall. At least you have flowers though. I buy daffodils from the store and they only seem to last for a few days in a vase. I bought some on Good Friday for Easter and yesterday I threw them away.

I am so EMBARRASSED for you. Oh, the horror! Straight rows! I can't even get them straight when I Use a guide. In about 30 days send them my way.....the workers, not the flowers.

I guess you're getting ready to plant corn?

Daffodils bloom in the warm light room and are able to maintain the freshness of up to two weeks. Daffodils recommended to pluck the buds in the phase when they are ready to open up. Daffodils are well stored in the water with the addition of sugar (10 grams per 1 liter of water).

To improve the quality and stability of cut flowers, they should be removed only in the morning and afternoon. The best time - the evening hours, when the leaves contain a lot of accumulated carbohydrates throughout the day.

My uncle that lived in Greenback had some really flat land for East Tennessee. He was extremely pleased when my Dad told him he could cut down every tobacco plant in a row with one .22. Straight rows were a source of pride in that country but to be honest, rows that followed the contour of the land were better for erosion control.

I suggest you get a few hundred more bulbs this fall and plant them in the same area to camouflage those rows.

Gee... I guess you're going to have to plant a whole bunch more of other bulbs to disguise those rows.... man, that's just too bad....

Why am I thinking cut daffodils stems need to be burned with a flame, as anybody heard that?

I don't know why you're thinking that either.......Was your Mom frightened by a daffodil and a Bic lighter when she was pregnant with you?

Bay, I want to be like you when I grow up!
