I received a 1000 mixed daffodil bulbs. I ordered them from one of my suppliers for $100.00 - which is really a great price. There were closing out their inventory because most parts of the country are way past daffodil planting time. I can plant them up until the end of February and they will do fine because of the cool nights in my planting zone in Southern California.
I amended the soil heavily with compost and some bone meal. I had to pick out all the Nut Grass rhizomes (see my post on Nut grass war) and then planted the bulbs about 5-6 inches deep and about the same distance apart. I planted two rows in each raised row. Since the ground doesn't freeze here, you can stagger the planting so you will have a continuous blooms.
Here are pictures of the bulbs, the rows with bulbs planted and finally - the planted room. The rows are raised because I flood the furrows between the rows with water from the pond.
