bulb question
i bought a couple hundred bulbs this past fall, thinking i'd have lots of time to plant them. :-) well, i got about 50 in the ground (daffys, and crocus), but i still have all these tulip bulbs in my garage. it's been cool and dry, and they're in paper bags. i've got some small early irises which have sprouted already, but the tulips still look dormant. is there anything i can do with them this year? is it too late to shove them into the ground? should i grow them in pots, maybe coddle them indoors for a bit this spring? or should i just store them in sand or something until next year? -kelly USDA zone 8a Sunset zone 4 Snohomish, WA |

Screw the zones.
Stop with your dumb excuses and plant the freaking bulbs already. "culprit" wrote in message ...

The zone map in the Sunset Western Garden book is easier to read. -- Travis in Shoreline (just North of Seattle) Washington USDA Zone 8b Sunset Zone 5 |
