Forcing Daffodils

Cuyahoga Falls, OH(Zone 5a)

A friend gave me the cutest little daffs in bloom. I have never forced bulbs before. What should I do with them when the blooms are gone ? Should I plant them in the garden for the summer ?

Thanks.

Daffodils that are forced then planted in the garden have had a pretty good success rate in my garden. They won't re-surface till next spring when they may or may not bloom, but left alone they will undoubtedly bloom the following year.
The clumps pictured were forced in year's past.

Thank you. When it gets a little warmer, I'll plant them in the garden.
