I leave mine in the ground, but if you want to lift them wait until 6 weeks after they have finished flowering, or you risk very few flowers next year. Also dont forget to feed them

Some people do lift them to plant bedding plants but I don't see the necessity for this. If you do lift them I would not do it before June.

And feed with half strength liquid tomato food once a week.

Do you feed before lifting?

Yes, but it is probably too late to feed this year now as you do when the leaves are still green. That said a lot of our daffodils do still have green leaves.

Thanks,I am going to lift some of my bulbs and replant them once I have cleaned and separated them, so wasn't sure if I was the feed them when replanted.
However,I too have some daffodils with green leaves so I can feed them now.
Thanks again.
