I bought tulips bulbs to split with a friend. I got mine planted, but she didn't. They're suppose to be planted before first freeze. It snowed and froze yesterday, what do I do with the bulbs that didn't get planted?

plant them anyway, i have planted tulip bulbs after first frost several times and always had them blooming in the spring. as long as the bulbs are still fresh and not dried and shrivelled. you may have to dig thru a bit of snow and frozen soil to do it tho. dont try to save the bulbs over the winter for planting in the spring, that will not be successful, they must be planted in the fall. another idea is to plant them in large pots in potting soil, then put the pots somewhere like an unheated garage or cold frame for the winter and put them outside in the spring. tulips are very hardy and can be planted after first frost, but it wont work with daffodils, hyacinth, and other more tender bulbs.

you can put them in the freezer for aprx 6 weeks, then put down into the soil...they will work just fine...
