While the 2012 gardening season has been challenging, it's time to begin preparing for 2013. Get the 2013 gardening season off to a beautiful start by planting tulips, daffodils, and other spring-flowering bulbs this fall. See the Horticulture and Home Pest newsletter from September 13, 2002 for planting details. https://hortnews.extension.iastate.edu/2002/9-13-2002/bulbs.html
Gardeners can purchase spring-flowering bulbs at local garden centers and mail-order companies. For your convenience, the mailing addresses and web sites of several mail-order bulb companies are provided.
