You bet. I've procrastinated until the New Year and still got tulips and daffodils to grow just fine.
But they will do better the earlier you get them in once the cooler weather hits.

Sure--as long as the ground freezes at some point before the spring, when they bloom, they can be planted. You can even plant them in January or February, as long as the ground isn't frozen then and they still get a freeze at some point between then and spring. The frost won't hurt them at all--they'll be 4-8" below the ground, which won't be affected.

It is a little late when the frosts start but your bulbs will grow just fine, they will probably flower a little later than normal.

Squirrels, floor moles, and airborne dirt and dirt-living critters love the flavor of flower bulbs of all varieties. Moles will heave a bulb to the exterior searching for underground bugs and larvae to devour. You for sure have a concern and could proceed to till you embody the bulbs with cord fencing that has tiny holes in it to permit the bulbs to place stems and bloom by using it yet retaining the bulb-diggers out. cut back the cord fencing extensive sufficient to cover the bulbs and permit a minimum of two inches of room on the climate to enable the bulbs mature. Curve the cord fence over the appropriate and aspects of the bulbs and go away the backside loose for roots to boost. this ought to save the critters from digging the bulbs loose from the soil. conceal the bulbs and cord with a lot of soil as nicely-known and you need to determine daffodils next spring.
