I Live in New Jersey and I want to plant some flower bulbs? Is November too cold?

I have a very small garden in the front of my house. I would like some beautiful tulips and daffodils this spring.... Can I plant the bulbs now, in November, before the ground freezes? This is my first garden....

Any tips willl be helpful!

If your ground hasn't frozen and the air temp is staying in the 40's-50's during the day for a little while longer you should be OK. You want to get them in before the ground gets too cold, but not so soon that they really start to grow. If you buy good quality bulbs (make sure they are firm and have no nasty looking spots on them, choose them like you would an onion) then they shouldn't need any fertilizers or anything the first year. Water them well in the spring after they've sprouted and you'll get nice fat blooms. Good luck!
Reply:Thety should do fine right now...The temperatures mya be cold but the soil 6 or 7 inches down is still around 50 degrees or so..the soil is warmer than the temperature..and we have not had a cold freeze..go for it they will be fine..here is an article on this
Reply:I think it may be too late to right now. However, you could plant them inside and then bring them out come spring.
Reply:It's recommended that you plant in September, October or November here in Indiana, so you should be fine. Even if you are a little late, they're very forgiving. As long as they get a good hard freeze before they bloom, you can even plant into the winter.
Reply:well, if you live in south jersey, that is south of Trenton, as long as you do it this week, you should be safe. Farther north I'm not sure, but if the ground isn't frozen, go ahead. I live in Cumberland County, NJ and just planted some iris rhizomes and some daffodils.
