Moving daffodils - how and when?

I want to move the daffodils at my allotment. The flowers have died but the leaves are still there. Should I lift them now, leave in a dry place and then replant in the autumn. Or something else? Should I cut the leaves? Any help gratefully received. Thanks in advance.

I'm no expert but I have already looked this up and it seems that now is the time to do it (after the flowers have died back). I have my eye on the big clump of wild daffodils on the unowned land next to ours ... it's not theft, it's recycling and sharing, honest!

From another website: 'A good way of planting your daffs is in a large flower pot which is sunk into the ground, at the end of each season lift the pot and split the bulbs into more pots which can then be sunk back into your garden'

I'll dig them up tomorrow. There is a darkish patch of ground under a cherry tree that will look beautiful with daffodils next spring.
