Hello people,
I have bought several spring blooming bulbs.( Hyacinths,
Iris, Aliums.. ). I want to know if I can go ahead and
plant them now or should I wait for few more weeks. I live
in New jersey and temparatures here are still in the 80s.

I'm in Rochester, which is just slightly cooler than your
climate. I've planted as late as mid-November. You could
plant now, based on the theory that it could turn colder in
a week, or not. The weather shmexperts aren't offering much
guidance, as you've probably noticed. Or, you would wait as
much as another month. It won't make much difference.

unless the ground freezes...
it won't hurt the bulbs to plant them now & it's a lot more
pleasant being out in warm weather planting than in an icy
rain because you're trying to get the bulbs in before it snows
tonight
Joe, i'll be in Rochester around turkey day. is it likely
stores will still have bulbs available or should i bring some
with me? any good garden centers heading east from Rochester
towards Wolcott that you know of?
thanks
lee
