I picked up a small pack of tulip bulbs and a couple of pots last week. Due to procrastination...they are still in a bag.
Am I too late to put in a pot? They look healthy.
Pot and put outside or would they need more love than that?

only bulb i ever planted before are daffodils but they are tough out and made it.

This is the year I make a gardening start! for better or worse.

Thanks

They possibly won't thrive this year, but if you can get them established ok then they will do better next year.
