What bulbs can I plant this fall for spring bulbs?  Here is a quiz to see if you recognize the flower from the bulb it came from.  Answers at the end.  

​The sun is out with a clear blue sky.  Chilly this morning but going to be a great day with the sun out.  Temperature will warm up to 67F(19C) but now it is 49F(9C).  WOW that is a typical fall day.  Stay warm, then just enjoy the sun, and stay safe.

When to plant fall bulbs for spring bulbs?  What should I plant? 
Craving color after a long, gray winter? Plant your bulbs this fall and let spring surprise you! From cheerful daffodils and crocuses to showy tulips, fragrant hyacinths, and striking alliums, autumn-planted bulbs sleep through the cold and wake up just in time to dazzle.
Key Points
Plant fall bulbs when soil drops below 60°F, roughly 6 weeks before your first hard frost—September/October in northern regions, October/November in the South, and by Halloween if unsure; set bulbs point-up at a depth about three times their width, in well-draining soil with full sun to partial shade.
Best Time to Plant Bulbs in Fall
Fall-planted bulbs need time to grow roots before the ground freezes. The best time to plant is when soil temperatures drop below 60°F (typically about 6 weeks before your first hard frost):
 
Northern regions: Plant in September or October
Southern regions: Plant in October or November
Very warm climates: Some bulbs may need to be pre-chilled before planting
Fall bulbs aren’t one-size-fits-all.
Best Flower Bulbs to Plant in Fall
Below are some of the most popular and reliable spring-blooming bulbs.
1. Alliums (Ornamental Onions)
Deer-resistant bulbs with dramatic spherical flowers in late spring. Prefer loose, sandy soil and full sun. Great for cutting gardens and pollinators. [Allium guide →]
2. Crocuses
One of the earliest spring bloomers, crocuses grow 4–6 inches tall and prefer full sun or partial shade. Not recommended if deer are a problem. Plant 3 inches deep. [Crocus growing tips →]
3. Daffodils
Deer-resistant and easy to grow, daffodils come in many colors and thrive in well-draining, amended soil. Plant 6 inches deep and 6 inches apart. [Learn more about daffodils→]
4. Hyacinths
Fragrant clusters that bloom alongside daffodils and tulips. Best grown as annuals for consistent blooms. Plant in well-draining soil. [Hyacinth care →]
5. Irises
Though technically rhizomes, fall is the best time to plant irises. They need excellent drainage and sun to attract pollinators. Plant early in the fall for strong root establishment.
6. Snowdrops
Deer- and vole-resistant, snowdrops bloom late winter to early spring and prefer moist soil and partial shade. Plant 3 inches deep and spaced 3 inches apart.
7. Tulips
Known for vibrant colors, tulips need well-draining, fertile soil and often act as annuals in many areas due to critter damage. Plant 4–6 inches deep. [More on tulips →]
 
Tulip tip: You can plant tulips later than most fall bulbs—sometimes even into winter—if you can still dig into the soil.
