Here in Central New York (Zone 5), it is pretty much too late to plant
tulip and daffodil bulbs. I received them late and it's been raining
almost nonstop, with temperatures from the low 40s to mid50s. Is it
safe to plant these bulbs, or should they be preserved until spring?
If I have to preserve them over winter, how do I do that?


I planted some last year in Rochester, in mid-November. They all did fine.
Keep your eye on the weather forecasts and have the trowel ready. Have the
shotgun ready for the deer, who will eat your tulips in the spring.
