summer bulbs

in what month do you plant your summer bulbs

[Marthaclematis]

I planted mine two weeks ago but in big pots rather than in the bed (we have squirrel problems, they dig a lot). I have crocusium (sp?) and a 'blue mix' of various things which are to flower in June. They've been indoors for two weeks until today when its been sunny. If snow DOES come as forecast, I'll have to bring them in again tonight. Please don't take what I'm saying as advice, I am a complete novice. I might be wrong to do as I have but being a novice I just couldn't wait to get stared! If i've got it wrong I'll learn for next year.
