I want to plant some daffodils today, but the ground is wet...?

Should I wait for it to dry out, and try again in a few days?

Wait for about three weeks, then start succession planting them, a few each week; then you will have continual blooms for awhile.


Daffodils require a pH of 6 - 7, and a mix low in soluble salts. A lightweight peat mix is desirable. About 1/3 of the bulbs should be above the soil surface
Reply:yes you dont want them to drown. wait till some really warm sunny days come so it can thrive
Reply:Let it dry out some...then you can plant them....make sure you put some kind of mulch on top of them...that helps with the weeds too...and they like that little cover over them...the heat will help them Bloom....Beautifully!!!





Good luck and happy gardening!!!
Reply:You won't "drown" them. If you had already planted them - the rain wouldn't bother them.





But it's awfully messy and difficult to plant when the soil is heavy and wet. Much much easier when it's a bit drier. So I'd wait - for your sake, not the bulbs.





Where have the bulbs been up until now? They usually get planted in the fall - they need a couple months of cold dormancy in order to bloom well.
