inconvenient or inconspicuous places. After 8 years of dividing and transplanting bulbs, I've settled on a simple method: wait until leaves die down, then dig up the clumps. I separate different varieties of bulbs in plastic nursery pots and label for identification, then simply leave them outdoors until I'm ready to plant them over the next few months. Similar to Atlanta, central Mississippi fall and winter months allow ample time to garden. If I notice bulbs sprouting in the pots early spring, I accept that as reminder to finish planting.

With lid on, wait 1 - 2 weeks for sprouting; no need to water. Place seedlings into egg cartons (perfect size for jiffy pellets). I punch holes in bottom to drain, cut lid off carton for drain pan.
