Bulbs

 Another fall has come and gone and I did not get my spring bulbs
planted. Is it too late. I am in Eastern North Carolina. The warmer
side of Zone 7. Thanks

We're a bit north of Baltimore and we just planted our last 300 tulip
bulbs last Sunday, November 28. My wife's been planting bulbs for many
years and admits that this year we're pressing the limit a bit, but
she thinks they'll be ok. I would guess that your weather is a bit
warmer than ours, being further south; we've had a few nights dip into
the upper 20's lately but nothing really brutally cold. My guess is
you could put them in this weekend.

In the snow !! Yes we are supposed to be getting flurries ! I guess I
just have to suck it up and go plant them. I am planning to put them
ion pots but at 75% off I bought too many of them. At least I know it
will be worth the effort. Thanks

  you are fine, go for it.

  i've planted many bulbs the
day before the ground has frozen
and most of them come through ok.

  it's not the best treatment,
but if the alternative is throwing
them out i'd just plant them.

  follow directions for depth
and water them after planting.

Thanks Everyone, I sucked it up about 4:30 when the wind died down and
planted them. Maybe I was looking for motivation more than
information :)
