Why aren't my daffodils not blooming? I asked an expert.

What a change this morning.  The temperature is at 50 but it is cloudy, rainy and windy out.  We had rain during the night and we are in for having severe weather today.  Lift warm front is lifting through.  Stay safe you all. 
5 fans went yesterday, and it was still very warm in the greenhouse.  Plants happy but hard on the ones planting.  Watering so important when it is so warm.  Looks like a couple of days of rain and cloudy weather.  So completely different for planting for sure.
I do believe lots of corn was planted before this rain.  Time for all of us to start the growing season.  For me, cleaning, organizing what the help plants, where to put it and of course the watering.  I like to do it when the plants are young so I can see if they are ok. I hope to do some planting myself today.

Question asked of me, so I reached out to a gardener that went to school for horticulture “my expert.” 
Why does a gardener’s daffodils not bloom? Question asked to me.
They may be crowded. I planted 10 in a circle but when I dig them up after 5 years I have over 100 bulbs! Tell them daffodils are low maintenance, not no maintenance. 😉 They need to be thinned out after the foliage dies back around June. Replant 10 (easy number to remember) back in original hole, dry the rest for a few days and store in a paper bag until this fall to plant around the yard.
I will check with the one that asked the question if this gives her any help. 
All stay safe with this severe weather we are in.  Till next time this is Becky Litterer, Becky’s Greenhouse, Dougherty Iowa [email protected]  641-794-3337  cell 641-903-9365
