    Morning all

    Potted up some daff bulbs 3 weeks ago and they are popping up already, is this normal?
    Not only is this happening but a cowslip is about to flower in the garden.

    Most likely the pot getting slightly warmer than the soil triggering the sprouting. I wouldn't worry, the growth will slow right down when its colder so they <should> be ok

    If they are 'Paper White' variety or similar then they can be very fast growing especially if indoors where they can flower in a very short space of time.
