Just remembered something worth sharing. The last time I forced, it was Tulips (previously I'd only forced Daffodils and Hyacinths). They had been ready to bring into the warmth for a while, but I was waiting till I could set them outside on the deck. When I brought them out, rodents had eaten a lot of the bulbs. Daffodils and Hyacinths are rodent safe, but Crocus as well as Tulips are tasty to them. Something to keep in mind when choosing a spot.
