Ok finally we had a day of decent weather and I got to plant the Carlton daffodil bulbs I bought on clearance at Walmart last fall. They were all really large bulbs and I planted 75 of them. I wasn't sure how deep to put them, plus it was hard digging for me. The recommended planting depth--is that counting from the bottom of the bulb or the top? I guess the bottom? I dug a hole about 4 inches deep, put the bulb in -top side up of course and then replaced the soil over it. I hope it is not too late in the year, I don't' care so much if they bloom I guess this year, just hope they live. I think the package said 6 inches, but I have had daffs planted shallower than that and they did good for me. Was almost 60 yesterday but supposed to be 50 today, with the gusty winds though it does feel colder.
