I posted this in Bulbs but it didn't get any action. Maybe someone can help me

I have dug several large clumps of Daffodils, all different varieties from my neighbors yard that is being cleaned out to return to, horrors, just lawn Rolling on the floor laughing

I dug them up while they were blooming. Some clumps had tons of blooms, some had only one or two. I cleared off all the soil, and other junk I did not want. I cut off the blooms. I left the foliage. I potted them up giving them each more room.

My plan is to plant them out in the fall and just store them outside in the pots over the summer. What can I do for them to keep them healthy? Fertilize now? If so, with what.

When I plant them in the fall fertilize then? Use bonemeal? And how do I use it. I read somewhere NOT to put it in the hole because it will harm/burn the bulb.

Thanks for any help!
