I have always planted my bulbs without refrigeration. I never even heard
that they should be refrigerated. I know some plants/seeds (in fact most of
them) need some "chill" hours for them to do well, but I am in an area that
provides them while they are in the ground. How cold does it get there?

Good luck and have fun. Dwayne

Hi,

My mother claims that to get your tulips to germinate properly, you
should put your bulbs in the fridge for at least 6 weeks before
planting. Has anyone else heard of this? Is it complete ********?

I've got mine in the fridge at the moment, but they have only been
there for about 3 days, and they are taking up valuable room. Should
I just ignore her?

No
