[Green] Riverbank question

[Rebecca Phillips]

The consensus so far is to leave them, which was my first thought--one is actually ready to open (which indicates that even with the cold, the plastic has indeed been heating up the soil). I will be heading back that way tomorrow or the next day to divide the clumps, which have gotten way overgrown, and space them over more of the exposed area. I suspect that there are more under the plastic in other places, but I am not going to take it up and look!

Greenies,

When I went over today to repin the plastic (note to riverbank volunteers: when we get wild winds like the one that blew up last night, we probably need to check the riverbank), I discovered a patch of perhaps 200 daffodils that had come up, some already budding. I left that area uncovered but await a group decision. Daffodils are not native, but Ohio has a dearth of sun-loving perennials that bloom in March and April (except violets and spring beauties, which I suspect may pop up on the site as well). So--should I leave them? A neighbor already commented positively about having them there.
