Dying Tulips

Keep watering the plants after they bloom. When the foliage yellows, cut
the tulips back to the base of the plant with pruning shears or
scissors. You may also be able to just pull up on the foliage to
separate it from the bulb. Stop watering the plants and set the pots in
a cool, dark location, such as a garage, until the spring. Take the
bulbs out of the pots and replant them outdoors about 6 inches deep in a
site that receives full sun. Water them well. They will come up the next
spring.

Oh, I think you just answered my question, above. I thought maybe
they should be in refrigerator, or?
Note, however, that this is a mild Mediterranean climate (So.
California coastal), Will planting the bulbs make them come up too
soon?
David Ross or David Hare-Scott, or somebody in/near my zone, how do
YOU store tulip bulbs?
TIA
