A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum summer blooming bulbs

Hi there!

I have a number of summer blooming bulbs (gladiolus, peacock orchid, windflowers) that i would like to plant-preferably today, while it's sunny. It has been raining a LOT the past few days, and is going to rain again tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that, and the day after that (seriously, that's the forecast). So the ground is SOAKED....do I wait even longer to get them in the ground, for a time when it's not super wet, or plant them in my awesome muddy clay soil?
I've heard you really shouldn't plant when it's too wet .... ???
Any guidance is appreciated : )

I would plant them now. All that moisture will help wake them up.

yay! that is SO the answer I wanted!!!! : ) : ) : )
