Is it 2 late to start a tulip, daffodil, and crocus garden now (in december) ?
We're starting a bulb garden in school and my class just got permission from the principal saying that we can start a garden outside on McNair's lawn. So we just want to know if it's 2 late.

As long as you can get a shovel or trowel into the ground, it is not too late. I have planted bulbs as late as January and had them come up just fine, tho they did bloom a little later than usual. Bulbs need 8-10 wks of cold to bloom, and we certainly have that. I have often bought bulbs on sale this late in the season and planted them as soon as I could. They have all done fine.|||Tulips,daffodils and crocus are Spring bulbs.They need time to make roots before blooming in the Spring.If you can dig down in the soil where you are,then you should plant them now.In many parts ,the ground is already frozen.If you can dig holes ,then the bulbs should be planted at 3 times as deep as the height of the bulb.For crocuses,the bottom of the bulb should be about 3 inches deep.They look good "naturalised" in a lawn.Daffodils will look very pretty there as well.The bottom of the bulb should be about5 or 6 inches deep .Plant in clusters ,say 10 or more ,6 inches apart.Tulips,being very straight and "formal" would proably look better in a flower bed,but could also go under the lawn.It will not be necessary to dig any of the bulbs up each year,they can be left in the ground and will re-bloom each Spring.After the flowers die down ,let the leaves go yellow,so if the grass is cut ,the mower will have to go around the leaves for a while.|||As long as the ground is not frozen,Its not too late.|||I'M PRETTY SURE THAT YOU PLANT THOSE BULBS IN THE FALL. I HAVE DAFFODIL'S
