I’ve taken all our daff bulbs out of the pots to replace with summer plants.
Now what to do with the bulbs. ???Small garden and no storage space.
What do you do with yours?

I leave mine in the pots and store them behind the summerhouse until the Spring 🌼.

Buy new pots for summer bedding, but I wouldn't plant them until the middle of May.

If you don't have a shed in which to store the removed bulbs in newspaper for next year's planting, why don't you treat yourself to a storage box for the garden, you can store the bulbs, garden cushions etc., they are very handy.

Monty suggests putting them into old plastic pots. It is what I do. I feed them water them and leave them until they’ve died down, then plant them into the garden in august - usually in the little wood area as they are generally smaller than new ones.

I never throw them out, I have a bank under an apple tree at the end of my garden, and I plant them in there. After so many years there are a lot now, and they look lovely in the spring.
