When Is Best Time To Plant Bulbs

Question From: NEW YORK
Q: WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO PLANT BULBS, IN NY CITY AREA AND DO YOU AD ANYTHING TO THE SURROUNDING SOIL

A:

When the soil cools, mid to late October is suggested. I've planted as late as early December. I do not add anything to the soil when planting. Daffs multiply like crazy, alliums also do well. Tulips are an annual for me, but I think they are worth the show. Best and Happy Yardening, Nancy
