First time using this site and I wanted to add details so I apologize if this is in the wrong spot.

Yesterday I planted some bulbs in Northwest Ohio. Although the ground is frozen in most of my yard I was able to plant the bulbs around my house where the ground had thawed. I stored bulbs over the winter in my garage in containers filled with fluffy wood bedding meant for small pets. Some of the bulbs looked bad but 95% look really good. Some of them look like they've sprouted a bit and are a greenish/yellow/white color. I was really hoping that since my garage reached lower temps through the winter that maybe the cold would help. On the other hand it sounds like maybe the root system won't be in place. Any thoughts on what I might expect to see this coming spring or summer?

Thanks for that added info. It sounds like your bulbs will be just fine and will bloom when they are supposed to, as long as you planted them at the proper depth. You don't say EXACTLY what you planted, but I am GUESSING they are spring flowering bulbs. In that case, they will bloom in the spring. There are summer flowering bulbs, too. Like lilies. If any of them were this type, they will bloom in the summer.

It depends on what bulbs you planted. Tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and others bloom in the spring. Lilies and a few other bulbs bloom in the summer. Hopefully your bulbs bloom just fine. You might want to throw some coffee grounds on top of the bulbs for some fertilizer. Bone meal is always good for bulbs but to put it on top the ground invites critters to dig. If you did not plant the bulb at the right depth, there is a chance that the bulb will rot instead of bloom. Good luck.
