Planted some tulip and hyacinth bulbs beginning of October here in the
Chicago area. The weather has been somewhat mild until now, and I am
concerned because
these bulbs have sent up shoots (a inch or so high). Will this early
action in any way
harm the bulbs and is there anything to be done about it?


They will be just fine. There is nothing you can do about it.
