Daring Daffs Experiment

First post! So in an effort to learn more I often Sky+ Gardeners' World only to forget to watch it. But this weekend I remembered! Monty says it's time to plant daffodil bulbs. Earlier in the year I bought a few daffodils in pots from M&S (one of those 10 for £2.50 type deals). Of course the daffs are long dead but the bulbs remain so - in what I consider to be a daring experiment at this fledgling stage in my gardening career - I have replanted them into a big old Belfast sink I bought on eBay. There are around 100 bulbs and some have already started to sprout roots. I placed them about 8cm below where the soil surface will be, added and patted down a layer of compost, sprinkled the smaller ones on top of that and then added a final layer of compost. I couldn't tell which way up some of the smaller ones should go, hence the sprinkling; figured they might work themselves into the right position. So... will they grow? Only 6-months to find out. My gut (always the optimist) says "yes" so time for a celebratory beer.
