| Spring is here, and here I am doing remedial fall bulb plantings! Am I the only one?

| I didn't realize fall bulbs could even be planted in spring. Won't they rot underground because of too much moisture, instead of cold weather, just after they've been planted? |

| I too have planted tulip and daffodil bulbs in the spring. Although it's certainly not ideal, it only takes a few minutes to get them in the ground, and any that come up are better than the zero that come up if you don't plant them! |
