I case you were not aware of it, though if you really have a BS in horticulture you should be, the Skagit Valley is one of the prime daffodil (and tulip) growing areas in the US. In fact, I have heard that the Skagit Valley produces more tulip bulbs than Holland, though I don't know that for a fact. But it is true that daffodil planting and growing are a major industry here. And from observation of the daffodil fields as I drive by them, and from buying bulbs directly from the growers, I know that they have long since planted their daffodils for next season, and that they have stopped selling daffodil bulbs because at this time of year the soil is too wet for best results.
Now, perhaps it is still theoretically possible for them still to be planted and to grow. In that case, you may be correct. But those who grow bulbs for a living, and who sell them for a living, have long since planted theirs and expected me to have planted mine. So while it may be possible still to plant them now if one is a procrastinator, it is not good practice, and will not achieve theexcellent results which I like to achieve from my garden. |
