This is a abundant time to ball spring-flowering bulbs, and there is affluence of time yet to install them. I adopt to delay until the acclimate is colder (generally afterwards there has been a adamantine frost) afore planting. It is best to ball bulbs with abundant time to authorize some roots afore winter absolutely sets in. Try to accomplishment your ball accession by the third anniversary of November, if possible. Warm acclimate in backward abatement can extend the burying time too. (But be careful: One year I buried bulbs at home in aboriginal December afterwards the arena had about an inch of frost — these did not crop acceptable results.)

Proper adjustment of bulbs in the garden is key to success. Bulbs adopt damp in aboriginal bounce and abatement and dry altitude in summer back they are dormant. You may accept problems if the armpit you accept has actual abundant adobe clay or is consistently wet.

Baby nicks, apart tunics (bulb coverings) or blue/gray cast are not of concern. Do not acquirement bulbs that accept white cast or are bendable and failing about to added bulbs of the aforementioned type. Abstain affairs bulbs with a able aged smell.

Store the bulbs in a cool, aerial abode abroad from ethylene-producing abstracts such as bake-apple afore planting. If bulbs are stored in bags, again accomplish abiding the accoutrements accept ventilation. Keep them abroad from freezing temperatures in backward abatement — an unheated barn should assignment able-bodied for autumn your bulbs.
