This year I didn’t take my own advice and have pots of Daffs that are stunted and unlikely to excel. Take the plunge and bury your bulb pots to encourage strong root growth. Next year is the key- at least gardeners usually get another chance to fail!
If you grow daffodils in pots you will get better results if you ‘Plunge Pots’ in soil or peat after potting. Daffodil bulbs do not like to be frozen so you need to plunge or bury the pot at least 2 and preferably 4 inches deep. Leave them covered for 16-18 weeks. Feed with high potash feed every week during and after flowering to build up the bulbs for next season. Do not cut the leaves but when they have died back gently pull them from the base. gravel in the above photo is used to aid watering and the grit on top of the pot improves the appearance, prevents moss and lichen
Take the plunge and bury your bulb pots. This evens out the ground/compost temperature for the bulbs to grow good roots and develop in a natural manner. Miniature daffodil bulbs like this treatment. If you want to regrow the bulbs next year give them a bit more room and plenty of root depth.

Repotting Shrubs and Pot Plants
When a plants roots fill the pot then it is time to think about repotting. Compost breaks down overtime, becomes prone to waterlogging and is less aerated. Plants in John Innes No.3 compost will last a bit longer but repotting every couple of years may still be needed to retain vigour.

Using A Potato Clamp for Storage
When storing potatoes you need to exclude light and moisture but retaining an even temperature. Do not wash spuds before storing. Do not allow them to be stored too cold or the starch will turn to sugar and start to go black. A fridge is too cold.

Flowers Grown for Your Vase
My perennial Phlox have been a good stalwart flower for cutting and filling a vase this last few weeks. I found the pink colours had more scent but all the Phlox seemed to drink copious amounts of water (I wondered if water and scent were related). The Penstemon in the same vase as the Phlox was not as successful as they had a far shorter life. Another successful long lasting cut flower is the Alstromeria. The Reds performed better than the yellows but both lasted over a week.
