bulbs

Hi, I'm a new kid on the block so to speak although I was a member many years ago. I have been given a bag of 50 daff and narcissus bulbs, they are still firm and have a sprout at their tips.  Is it safe to plant these, or will they rot. I don't expect any growth much this year, but will they survive from now on?

If you don't plant them soon they will probably die anyway. You've nothing to lose. How about planting them in a pot by the door so you can keep an eye on them.

Thanks Barbara, I have put some in a pot anyway, but as you say there is nothing to lose, so I'll plant the rest in a bank under the hedge.
