Set out crocuses, daffodils, tulips and hyacinths now. If you live on the coast where these tulips and hyacinths do not get enough cold weather in the ground, you could try planting them in pots where they will be more exposed to cold. Or you can store them in the bottom of your refrigerator for 2 - 3 months. Daffodils do not need any chilling in order to bloom.
Plant in a sunny location with well-drained soil. When planting bulbs in a new bed, mix a slow-release fertilizer such as Holland Bulb Booster (9-9-6) into the soil before planting. Broadcast the fertilizer across the top of established beds as directed on the label. Cover with mulch.
