@jmorth .......
I've always wondered why bulbs have to be stored during the summer months instead of just resiting them after the foliage disappears.
I am just guessing, but it seems that just replanting them in the ground is a safe way to store them.
I have several bulbs I need to move and have lots and lots of fall chores, so anything that I can do to avoid making the fall chore list longer just helps me get things done before winter hits.
