After drying daffs, they never got ‘hard’

8 comments for “After drying daffs, they never got ‘hard’”

1. I’m packing up some misc daffs, dug from  here and there for some cyber
    friends and have noticed that a lot of them (well most) are not quite as firm or
   hard as others I have dug and dried.  These likely were not turned much
   during the drying/storing stage.  Would that result in them not being so firm?

   My real concern is if they will bloom in 2011, or if they will maybe require
    an extra growing season, even if they ‘appear’ to be blooming sized bulbs now.
   I’d hate for anyone to be disappointed with the number of 2011 blooms, but
   if I give them a heads up that ‘most’ will not bloom until 2012, then they will not
   have any unpleasant disappointment next spring.  I have inspected the bulbs quite
    well  and there doesn’t appear to be anything else wrong with them, other
   than not being as firm as usual.

   What can they expect?

   I just kill the worm by slicing the suspect bulb in half, picking out the worm, and slicing it in half .  I doubt many of them go on to bother another bulb.  I don’t want to run the risk of the pesky buggers flying "home" from the dump.

8. Melissa,

   I also dig them out andI “terminate” them with “extreme prejudice.”  :-)  I don’t want them back either.
