Should I have dug up Bulbs ?

Hi. I have just had to dig up about 100 Tulip Daff & Muscari bulbs from the borders, But they are all still with foliage, I cut off the old flowers and have stored them in the Potting shed on trays to wait for them to dry out, the reason is I want to put summer stuff in. Will I have to chuck them away or will they survive and flower next spring.Once the leaves have died back then I will take them and the roots off & store dry - am I doing this right??

 

Hi Sunshine

Yup, if you need the space for summer stuff, it's fine to dig up your tulips & muscari bulbs, I do. You've done the right thing in storing them in trays to dry out naturally too. Once the foliage has dried off, you can store the bulbs ready for planting out next Autumn.
