I know daffodils are supposed to be left to die down but I couldn’t get into the garden much last year so my other half planted the bulbs. He did really well but put some in places which are now looking a bit scrappy. Can I take them up and store them?

Once leaves die back, yes, put a stick or something in the ground to remind you where they are

I’m being a bit impatient. Want them up before the leaves die off. Can I put them in another pot of compost till later in the year do you think? It’s only a few but don’t like losing anything.

Leaves make food for plant bulb stores it, let the plant do it's thing or not get much flower next year. Personally, don't disturb them, as if you lift and transplant will damage many small roots in the process. but your garden, your choice

Dead head them, then tie the leaves up so they are out of your way

Hello! I planted daffodils this year for the first time, once it's the first time I have a garden for myself anyway, my question is: when they are finished at the end of the spring can I remove the bulbs from the soil and keep them in a bag for next year?

Hi guys, just in need of some advice around artificial grass, we dug up the garden last year as the previous owners had ruined the grass and we’re about to get it redone, but can’t decide between real or artificial grass.
