I have a lot of blind daffodils. Can they be saved if I pull them up?  Thank you

    I'd feed them and dig them up whem they die back and replant further apart.

    Can I pull them up now, cover the bulb with feed and store until next year?

    They need to be covered with soil, so best to split them and replant, as Nut says, further apart.   No point in covering with feed, they get their nutrients for next year from the green leaves dying back.

    Let them die back naturally if you can or if you must move them pop into big pots in the sunniest spot you have and then replant deeper and further apart in the autumn.

    Thank you for your advise. I need to pull them up now as a pond is being dug. I will transplant them into a big pot and cover with soil .
