Prepping daffs

Today I helped to clean the daffodil bulbs by cutting the dead leaves off, removing the loose tunics and brushed off any loose earth away from the root.  These bulbs had been dug up after they had finished flowering last spring, and were stored over summer.  All of the dead leaves and tunics were put on the compost bin and the bulbs are now ready for planting. Ideally they should be planted in autumn but its not too late.  They should be carefully planted now their shoots are showing!
