Well, I waited until the leaves turned yellow then removed the bulbs from the pot that they had been growing in. Now what? How long do I have to wait before replanting them? Anywhere but here (Hawaii), I'd guess that they should be planted in early spring. We have no frost, ever. In fact, it's seldom below 60 F on the COLDEST nights. Normal day time temps are 80 to 90 F, year-round. The bulbs have been out for about a month now. I just cleaned off most of the dirt and piled them loosly in an open container sitting in the shade on my back porch. I have about 10 bulbs 1 inch or larger, about 20 smaller ones and a few real small ones. Do they need any cold exposure? (I can put them in the 'fridge, if necessary.) Is there a minimum time for them to be exposed to the air? Or can I replant them now? And how deep? Can I leave them in the ground year-round after I plant them? Thanks. ************************************************************************** Frank Monroe n63s@nctamsep.navy.mil Waialua, Hawaii USDA Zone 11
