In a small garden it is difficult to know what to do. Bulbs can go undisturbed between established plants, and be left alone they will be there in spring before the plants regrow. I leave my daffs in and leave that patch free. Tulips a mixture of take up and leave in according to placement. Old tulip bulbs might give a decent show if taken up.....then there maybe a no show. You get to know what is best for your gardening style with experience.
