Where's all the daffodils? Brexit?

[lurchersforlife]

At this time of year supermarkets usually have bunches of daffs on sale for £1, which is a cheap way to cheer up the house at this cold and generally shitty time of year. This year I've managed to get one bunch. Most places just don't seem to have them - not even empty boxes, just no sign of them at all. Yesterday in Lidl there were 2 bunches left in the box but already in bloom and wilting so I didn't bother.

Anyone know why? Is it the same factors that have affected the salad stuff? Or are they grown here and can't get picked? Either way it's fucking Brexit isn't it?

Fields full of em here in Cornwall

Daffs are my favourites and DH usually buys me a bunch every week at this time of year, but I've been getting tulips recently as there are no daffs in our local shops.

@Welliesandpyjamas Conscious that I am now a daffodil bore 🙈

Infinitely better than being a Brexit bore. 😀

My M&S ones were crap!! Didn’t fully open, just wilted. The Aldi ones have been fantastic though!

Not had a problem getting them this year - last year I really struggled to though!

Inspired by the thread I nipped to M & S, which is not somewhere I usually shop, and they did have plenty, though not the big all-yellow ones but the smaller ones where the inner bit is a different shade. Still, that's an issue every year and what I have is definitely better than nothing.

And there aren't as many around as last year here for sure. And Brexit will undoubtedly be at least part of the cause.
