Hi,

I've got a bit of a situation. I'm moving in a month, perhaps less, and I
want to move a good bit of my garden with me, including all the tulips,
daffodils, hyacynthe, etc. I've got some ideas on how to go about it, but
I'm not certain.

I'm considering digging them, and placing them in paper bags in a cool
place
and letting the greenery die back -- is this correct, or should I be doing
it differently?

Any help would be appreciated.


It can be done. It's best to get them into pots of soil so the foliage can
continue growing as it would if the bulbs were still in the ground. When
they turn brown and die back, then you can trim the dead stuff, and replant
the bulbs in their new, permanent home later. If you trim the foliage now,
your bulbs won't have as much food stored up for next year's show.
