Topic: Am I stupid??

[tim]

I swear that I posted this yesterday, but have given up searching. I said "so slow".

Sorry if it's a repeat.

Yes, slow as a slow thing going very slow.

I earthed up my early indoor spuds at the weekend, Mimi and Foremost. Looking back at the diary that was a whole 3 weeks later than last year with a planting date much the same.

Though I have noticed the last week since the weather warmed up a tad things moving better, the daffs nearly opened up over night.

Though I have noticed the last week since the weather warmed up a tad things moving better, the daffs nearly opened up over night.

One of the villages near me has an annual "daffodil weekend" and has done so since the 1960s - attracts thousands of visitors. They've planted several tons of daffodil bulbs around the village, with a mix of early/mid/late flowering times, so the display normally lasts quite a few weeks.

This year, the event was the weekend just gone and there were hardly any daffodils actually in flower - first time since 1979 they've had this problem. Today, though, 3 days later, the place is blooming.

Tim - glad you mentioned this. I'm trying indoor pots for the first time this year + was beginning to think I'd done it wrong.

Mine aren't quite so far as yours, but then I'm in Scotland + the greenhouse is unheated.

When did you plant yours?

Wherever I put the thing yesterday, if at all, I mentioned 4/3.

Same here Diana - yesterday (with only two plants showing) I was feeling tempted to root around and see what was going on, but resisted.  This evening, another one had put in an appearance, so some hope yet.
Rest go in over the weekend/ next week on the allotment  (once I finish the clearing up  :-[ :-[ )
