This is probably a very stupid question, but I'm really "green" when it comes to gardening.
I would like to plant groundcovers in the bald spots in my flower beds, but I know that there are spring bulbs like daffodils, crocuses and snowdrop bulbs in the earth there. If I plant a groundcover there, will the bulbs be able to poke out in the spring ? Or will they get stifled ?
Maybe this depends upon the exact kind of groundcover I use...
if so, then please tell me what I should chose.
I was thinking of Snow-in-summer
Thanks in advance !

You should be just fine. You can even layer bulbs and they still find a way to emerge even when there is a bulb on top of them. Ground cover like Vinca is very shallow rooted and would not interfere in your bulbs emerging at all. However, Vinca is invasive and will eventually end up where you don't want it and will become a nuisance. Choose your ground cover carefully.
Good luck

Don't worry. I've got bulbs coming up through Vinca & English Ivy.

confident it relatively is a good option to dig up your bulbs in case you are able to no longer wait for the golf green leaves to die back do no longer cut back them off once you do away with the bulbs because of the fact the bulbs feed themselves on the food left interior the leaves, enable them to wither and pass brown on the bulb, you are going to be able to desire to maintain the bulbs in a dry cool place , maximum suitable to shop them in a wood or cardboard container as this won't entice condensation.
