If your daffodils flowered poorly this spring, you are not alone. Last summer's lack of light is probably responsible, as the embryonic flower-cells in the bulbs require a boost of sunlight to get going. To help next year's blooms along, remove the faded flowers (not possible, of course, if you have a host of thousands) so that energy is not wasted in seed formation. And give the remaining foliage a liquid feed to help it bulk up the bulb.
And while you're in a nourishing mood, it's time to start feeding containerised plants, including house plants. Strongly-growing subjects in pots outdoors - such as annuals and herbaceous perennials - will benefit from a weekly or fortnightly feed.
For the vegetable garden you can start the following seeds: salad crops, brassicas, peas, leeks, onions, spinach, carrots, beetroot and chard. Sow them either in a seed bed, in trays or cell-packs - or where they are to grow in the garden (take advice from the seed packet).
If you have not done so, cut back the stems of coloured dogwoods and willows to a few inches from the ground so that new growth can sprout in time to brighten up the garden next winter.
