I really want to chop off my daffodil leaves 😡

I won’t, not yet, but goodness me they make everywhere look so untidy. I almost regret planting them.
Does anyone have any clever solutions?

I'm desperate to.mow over mine but they're not completely yellow yet. North facing garden.... so giving them another week or so.

I’ve done it! I don’t know how many weeks it’s been exactly but I’m sure at least 6. The garden looks SO much better for it too ☺️

Mine are looking really ragged (in large containers) so I am hoping to replant them soon as they are irritating me!

My question is, should I just leave them in the containers over summer, lift and store them or put them in the ground somewhere?

They are a mix of new tete a tete and some older daffodil bulbs. This worked quite well as I ended up with two ‘waves’ of flowering. But now they look like the pots that time forgot…

If I want to reuse the pot I tip it out and just stuff it in to old plastic pots from the garden centre. Then in autumn I put them back with a bit of fresh compost.
