Progress with bulbs

It's been two weeks and my daffodils are ready to burst! They just need a few more days. Next year I'll try tulips, because between the chipmunks and the deer, trying to plant them outside is hopeless. I know it's off topic, but I'm staring out the window right now and there is an absolute feeding frenzy at the bird feeder. I'm refilling it every day and every day I feel like I'm going to be swarmed, Hitchcock style.

Forcing bulbs

I'm trying it this year for the first time. I have a little separate garage that keeps the perfect temperature (I think) -- cold. I got a rectangular container and planted 5 or 6 Narcissus Daffodils around the middle of November, and brought them inside and gave them some water when the dirt thawed. The results are very promising. They shot right up, green and healthy! I hope they have enough energy to bloom well. I heard they need three months dormancy, and that is what I gave them, but just barely. Needless to say, if I am successful with this attempt, I'll go crazy with it next year.
