How to plant daffodil bulbs to get a natural look

November 11, 2016

If you’ve ever admired daffodil walks in the park and have some space to plant a few bulbs in your garden, then there is a really easy process called naturalisation that helps you easily achieve that natural look. This video shows you how simple they are to plant! Daffodil and narcissus bulbs can be planted until December, so you’ve got a few weeks to get them in the ground. Hopefully you’ll have a great natural looking swathe of yellow come the Spring time.

p.s in the video I start talking about why narcissus have their name. It might not be clear, but what I meant to say was the dropping heads of the flowers echo Narcissus whose gaze was fixed downwards at his reflection in the pool of water.

  • Happy birthday @indiefarmer husband lol! The best person to have by your side because he is an actual ray of sunshine ☀️ (actually 80% sunshine 20% cake). We love you, have the best day, and so happy to see the sun shining on you this morning ☀️☀️☀️
  • The second post of Nige’s series on getting our hut ready for guests is out now (link in bio). We are proud of all the home made touches. The curtains were made (or maybe I should say co-ordinated and made by her friends!) by my mum from a recycled wool blanket. The sheepskin is one of ours. The beaut fold down table was made by our friend, neighbour and artist @samsamayre. And the rest picked up at the charity shops of Bexhill. We love it and hope you will too. ❤️❤️❤️
  • Our first family home was this shepherds hut. It maybe small but it’s mighty cosy, and with no electricity it forces you to slow down. I don’t entirely miss having to share our one room with a puppy, who cried for cuddles most nights. But I do miss doing not much more than just staring at the fire, and the stars you see on a late night loo trip. It’s something we are looking forward to sharing with others. Nigel is documenting how we hope to become farm hosts in a series of blogs. The link is in my bio.
  • Still some places left for these foraged wreath workshops. Drop me a DM if you’d like to know more
  • This lettuce growing out of the rubble, feels very 2020 to me. I’m taking it as a hopeful sign, that out of the rubbish, beauty always seems to find a way to bust through. Thanks lettuce
  • How to make a bulb lasagne video link in my bio. It’s 3 years old, but hey the seasons keep on rolling round. October is the perfect time to do something like this, and you’ll thank your past self in spring when these joyous flowers push their way through the soil and make you smile. And Lord knows in late February we are going to need all the smiles we can get. Enjoy! #gardeninspiration #irises #tulips #daffodils #flowers
  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEEEEEEE!!!! LET’S AVE IT!!!!

  • So much love for @growingcommunities Dagenham Farm. I’ve been doing bit of cover work there over the summer, chasing @alicebholden trying to keep up with her salad picking. I’ve learnt so much there, from the plants and the people ✌️
