    Is it possible to move daffodils while ' in the green'?

    I ask because I have loads that need re-positioning and a few that are blind. I was thinking that I would do it now because it would be easier, but should I rather wait until the foliage dies off?

    Thanks as always.

    Hi Ethansmum it shouldn't hurt the daffs at all I move mine around quite a bit even when they have their buds on and as yet they haven't been put off by all the 'pickfords' tactics I do to them and none haven't not managed to flower. :D

    Not sure if others will agree but it works ok for me.Hel.xxx.
