Hola Tuejar!!

Hello to all the partners of European Fire Association. We are very sad to be back in Swansea again and wish we were still all together in Spain. We cannot find the words to explain how much we enjoyed and learned from the people in Tuejar. We would like to express our huge thanks to everyone for all their hard work throughout the week. I am busy sorting through all the video clips and photos and we will put something together for the blog soon.

In the meantime..... here are the instructions for planting the daffodil bulbs.

You MUST plant them straight away!

Where to Plant Daffodils.
Daffodils grow best with ample sunlight, preferably all day long. At a minimum they need six hours of direct sun. In too much shade, flowering will be reduced and their performance will decline.
Daffodils grow well in many different types of soil, but they need a planting site that is well drained, meaning a location where runoff does not collect after a rain. Avoid low spots and places that tend to be swampy or extra muddy.

How to Plant a Daffodil Bulb.
Plant the bulbs about six inches apart. Dig the hole three to four times deeper than the bulb is tall or about eight inches deep. If your soil is loose and soft, you may find that a bulb planting tool works for you. I use a sharp spade. Some people like the bulb planting augers that attach to a drill, but I feel they compact the surrounding soil.
Loosen the soil at the bottom of the hole to encourage rooting. Set the bulb firmly in the bottom of the hole; give it a gentle twist so it sits securely upright. Be sure to place the bulb pointy end up. Return the soil to the hole and you’re done.
It’s best to plant just before a rain storm, or else water generously to settle any air pockets.

Thanks once again for all your friendship and hospitality, partners!!

Viva Tuejar!!!

Love Polly. xxxxx
