I am moving in a month, can I take my spring bulbs with me?
Hi - my Husband and I just purchased a home and are closing in less than a month now. Last fall I spent a mini-fortune on spring bulbs and though it is now spring, I'd like to at least attempt to take them with me.
My thought was to put them into two window box planters I have and a pot that all have some dirt in them, and let them bloom, if they are going to, then when they finish plant them in our new garden.
Has anyone tried doing something like that? Or have you found a way that worked especially well you could share? What can I expect, if they do not bloom after being moved to a box, might they come back next year?
Thanks to anyone who can help! 
You might succeed with a lot of hard work. You will have to dig deep enough to go several inches below the bulb without damaging, slicing or bruising the bulb. You will need deep pots or deep planting boxes. Most bulbs, if planted correctly should be 6 to 8 inches into the ground. You will also have to have plenty of room around the sides. In other words, you are tricking the bulb into not knowing it has been moved. Spring is just kismet to this kind of activity but if you follow the above instructions you may succeed. Do not try and transplant at the new location until after the bulbs have bloomed and gone into full dormancy. The shock of going into new, unnative ground while the bulbs are trying to bloom will really knock the bulbs for a loop. Crocuses only go 2 inches deep so if you have alot of shallow bulbs like crosus, spring beauty, etc your chances of success will be better. This is a hard chore but it can be done. The real trick here is to convince the bulbs that they have not been dug up. Good luck.
