Storage for spring bulbs?
 

Just bought several bags of Iris,Lilies, Laitris at Lowes but wont be working
on the part of the yard I want to plant them till at least mid April, so whats
the best way to store them so they dont begin to sprout but also dont die?
Cripser drawer in the fridge? Just a dark corner of the basement? Any tips
would be appreciated =)

Every gardener has plenty of left over quart or gallon pots don't they? G
Use them and some potting soil and pot the bulbs up, put them outside, and
let them go ahead and develop some roots. This works especially well for
lilies, as they don't hold well either refrigerated or non refrigerated.
When you get ready to plant them, if the roots have started circling, tease
them gently apart and plant just as you would any other potted plant,
bearing in mind the needed depth that the bulb requires.
