seed daffodils

When starting daffodils from seed, after the cold period in the fridge, should the seeds be planted in something that gives them nutrition? I've always heard to much nitrogen is bad for bulbs.

Doug says that while bulbs in nature don't require a lot of feeding, it is recommended that you feed seedlings with 1/4 to 1/2 strength fertilizer to keep them growing along. You'll get a quicker seedling and one that will grow up so you can tranplant it into the garden where it will be quite happy with a shovel of compost a year.
