Forgotten daffodil and tulip bulbs
Last year I bought dozens of daffodil and tulip bulbs to plant in my long raised bed, and I failed to plant them. Is my best option to plant them now (within the next 2-3 weeks), or wait until the fall? Or is there a better option.
Thanks so much for your availability and expert help.

Don't wait. Plant your bulbs now. If they were stored in a cool garage so they were chilled for six weeks this winter than they may still bloom - but a lot later than usual. Try not to wait for 2 to 3 weeks - get them in the ground immediately - so what are you doing tomorrow? Dig in! Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
