Too early for bulb planting???

jessamae22

Hello! I am new to gardening and in my excitement, I just purchased several types of bulbs (tulips, allium, muscari)...I live in Central Ohio and it's been in the 90s here lately...is it too warm to plant these bulbs? Should I wait until next month or just go ahead and plant them?

Also, is it better to plant bulbs after a rain or when the ground is dry? We just bought our first house and it's basically a blank slate for me to work with:) Thanks!
