I always have some bulbs that I plant in the winter. Sometimes I get too tired of digging and planting in the fall, because I've been busy all summer and am busy canning, drying, and freezing in the fall. We usually have a week of warmer weather in January, even though I'm in northern Nevada where it snows etc. Anyway, I plant the ones I've had in the garage. They come up on time in the spring. One thing I always use with my bulbs is Epsom salts. I put a tablespoon or so in each hole and put the bulb in and cover with dirt. Then I sprinkle some on the top of the soil, so it'll fertilize extra when it snows or rains. The bulbs love the magnesium and the squirrels and other rodents don't eat my bulbs. If you can remember where your bulbs are year to year, you can sprinkle some Epsom salts on anytime in the fall or winter. I have so many, and such a large yard that I forget where some are. Always a great surprise when they come up.
