    I didn't get my Spring bulbs into the ground in the Fall and I'm wondering if it's too late to do anything with them now. Does this mean they are just garbage? I live in east Vancouver. Any and all advice much appreciated.

    if the soil is not frozen, you can put them in.

    Thanks Joclyn - that's encouraging. The ground has been frozen for a few weeks under mounds of snow but I imagine it has thawed by now. I haven't tried digging yet.

    They'll likely flower a bit later this year than they'd normally do so (e.g. May rather than April), but they should be OK.
