    My Tulip and Daff bulbs came today, a little early than i thought.

    Do i plant or store them ? Where's the best place to store them ?

    Hiya Mr G.

    I believe the right time for bulb planting is next month, so in the next few weeks. In the meantime, if it were me I'd store them somewhere cool and dry:)

      Away from any heat sources, maybe somewhere shaded...

        Just to add, it's not long now until planting time, so it's not that critical:blue thumb:

        Hi Mr Gringe
        Yes, they are best stored in a cool, dry well-ventilated place - in the garage is ok, temp. 50-60 degrees. If it's too cold or too warm it could damage the bulbs. Happy gardening.
