We have a rather large vegetable garden, about 40′ by 100′, with a seven-foot fence around it to keep from sharing all the produce with our resident deer herd.  Just inside the fence, and all way around the garden, we have daffodils and tulips. It had been a few years since we dug them, so last fall we did so, and ended up with numerous wheel barrow loads of bulbs–thousands of them. We dug a trench and replanted with bulbs and also planted about a forty-foot row along our lane, but gave big bags full to as many as would take them. Lincoln County should be bursting in narcissus, daffodils and tulips this spring!        Bulbous plants, like daffodils and irises, propagate by sprouting baby bulbs off of a mature bulb. For a while those babies can grow right next to the mother plant and thrive. Some of the clumps we dug were so big that it took a shovel on either side to pry them out of the ground. As the clump of bulbs gets large, the new bulbs remain tiny and produce smaller and fewer blooms. That is why you are supposed to occasionally dig them, and divide them up before replanting. The wise gardener separates bulbs frequently to insure big, beautiful blooms, and there are always plenty of extra bulbs to share with neighbors and friends.
