Do those of you in the cold winter/snow areas put your tulip and other bulbs in the fridge for a few weeks before planting?
We do here.
Or, do you just plant them as soon as you buy them, and if so, what time of year do you plant your bulbs?
Also, is that crocus-coming-up-through-the snow thing true, or just something to make Californians drool?

I plant mine as soon as I buy them in late September/early October.
Since your winters are much more mild maybe you need to do that.
We plant them as long as the ground is workable.

i plant all my spring flowering bulbs in fall,octobers the best month for me. i plant all my summer flowering bulbs in spring, aprils a good month. and fall flowering bulbs i plant in summer. we may have crocus here, but i bet you have flowers all year long

can you plant your bulbs any time of the year? do your bulbs bloom by seasons ? it would be nice to just leave tender bulbs in the ground, instead of digging them up every year! sometimes i forget and it kills my bulbs
