I can see daffodil foliage coming up and there is still snow on the ground. I thought I moved most of what I had in one bed, because they weren't working out there, now I see I missed quite a bit. I thought that if I could get to them soon enough, as soon as the ground thawed and carefully lifted them, I might not interrupt their bloom for the season. Yes... no? I actually cannot remember what the recommendations are for when the best time to move bulbs are, can someone remind me? Does anyone have any experience moving bulbs just as they are coming up?

I'm also curious about lifting and separating bulbs to increase them. Does anyone do that? I wish someone would do an article for the front page of Dave's on this topic. [g]
