Store Bulbs Over Winter?

I bought about 30-40 bulbs, intending to plant. I managed to injure myself, and despite the injury beginning to heal, have been told not to try to do anything like gardening for the next few weeks. The soil is hard-packed clay, and I had intended to work in a fertilizer/mulch that the garden store recommended specifically for tulips in my area, so even if I waited until I was completely better, I think it would be too difficult with (likely) frozen soil. Now what do I do? I'd like to try to store the bulbs until next fall, if that is possible. I live in Minnesota, and though it's been unseasonably warm until just a week ago, we have had two snows (melted during the day, but did stick overnight) already.

Doug says you either plant them or you kill them. That's your call. If you can't plant them outdoors - congratulations you've just won a trip to plant them indoors. Follow the page on forcing tulips and you'll be fine if you give them the requisite cold period.

You can try to store them in the crisper of the frig but.....

Just don't leave them on the shelf somewhere to dry out (toss 'em now if that's all you have or give them to a good friend).

Good luck
