Hi! When is the best time to plant tulip and daffodil bulbs in Zone
6b? TIA

Plant your daffodils and tulips now (as soon as they are available in
stores in early fall). That gives more time for the roots to gather
nurishment for better blooms next spring. Be picky about the corrrect
depth and spacing. Use a little bone meal (not fertilizer or manure
which can rot the bulbs).

Hmmm... I think I might consider storing them in the vegetable keeper drawer
in the refrigerator until the middle of October. That adds to the chilling
time and still gives the bulbs enough time to do their thing after planted,
particularly in zone 6b.
