Hi Jane, Sorry to hear about the difficulties with planting your bulbs this year. Depending on the bulb variety, there are specific instructions in terms of planting depth and how they should be placed in the hole, so just dumping the bulbs in the soil likely won’t come with favorable results. One suggestion would be to see if there is someone who can help you—a neighbor or contact a local garden club to see if there is a member who might have some time to assist you. Another option would be to plant the bulbs in containers this year, something you could do on a table top and properly place the bulbs in the soil. Happy planting!
