Regarding the daffodils. Once the flowers have died cut off the flower stalk as fas down as you can reach and then allow the rest to die naturally.
Don’t try to do too much this year because you need to see what is already there.
Attack your local library.- I found this a wonderful source of information
visit garden centres – see what you like. Look at the different types of plants and shrubs and grasses etc. Look at the height of plants and the colour and shape of the foliage ( leaves)
watch the garden to see how much sun you get in which areas and how much shade ( and when the sun is there)
to get some colour this summer you will need to get annuals. However also choose some perennials that you can plant together.
An annual is a flower that will bloom all summer and then die.
A perennial will have a shorter bloom period but come back next year
enjoy your new home and garden
