Is it too early to plant my daffodil bulbs in cornwall?

for outdoor planting

Is it too early to plant my daffodil bulbs in cornwall?
September and october is the best time. In beds plant 3 x their own depth using a trowel or bulb planting tool to do lots. Put gritty sand in hole if clay soil. In containers- few stones in bottom, then compost, push in bulbs close toghether, almost touching, compost on top and another layer of bulbs if you've space, more bulbs will give a better show.
Reply:They grow a lot better if you plant them in earth.
Reply:No, I live up in Bristol and ive put mine in this afternoon. They need to get in the ground before the frosts start.
Reply:No get on with it.
Reply:No it's not too early, Make sure you cover them with 3 inches of soil.
Reply:i wont have thought so i have planted mine and i live in derbyshire... and they come up every year ..... and i think well i no cornwall is alot milder than derbyshire..... if in doubt palnt them from now and at two week intervals .... remember where u palnted for future fref and then next yr hopefully u;; be spot on ...... good luck
Reply:LEAVE IT TO ABOUT THE END OF OCT
Reply:I would plant them late Sept to mid October.



Do you have to plant them in Cornwall - seems a hell of a long way to go grow some daffs. What's wrong with your own back garden?
Reply:Not too early, bulb season is just getting kicked off. Now is best as u get a better variety
Reply:I don't think Cornwall has an opening time.
Reply:No, but it's silly if you happen to live in Yorkshire.
Reply:It's a long way to go if you live in the Midlands.
