If you have daffodil bulbs, plant them. They will be a little late but they will not keep till next year if not planted. They should survive the summer heat in the ground without summer water. You can grow tulips if they are chilled a minimum of 6 and preferable up to 10 weeks. If you do not dig and chill again for next year most tulips will be very short and if any bloom they will be at ground level. Tulips are so cheap now(mine cost less than $10 for 50 bulbs of blooming size)you should be able to buy new bulbs every year. Al

Thanks for the info, Al. I don't mind late blooms, but I'd sure mind *no* blooms!

And I'm glad to hear that daffodils may survive not being watered over the summer. We have a median in the roadway that gets no irrigation (besides the rain) and I'd love to see some blooms there every spring. :)

Daffodils have been planted along highway 128 in Alexander Valley and they do very well on their own, blooming every year with no summer water. Al
