I am planting 300 daffodils and some crocus this week... we have had no frosts
yet (unusual in this climate) but waiting too long means not getting the bulbs
in the ground at all when we have early snows! It is much worse to have bulbs
sit in the fridge all winter cause the land got locked in ICE suddenly! If
your bulbs sprout... do nothing. It may take a year or so to get the blooming
back in sync... but they should survive OK.
Blessings of the Changing Season!
