Just make sure you have the gardener's permission before you do this. Especially, if it is your mom or dad. Otherwise, the long, keen stick may change hands with disastrous results. One of the gardener's favorite fall activities is planting spring flowering bulbs. We plant them now since most of them since most of them require some cold weather before they will bloom.
Spring flowering bulbs include daffodils, crocus, hyacinth, narcissus, jonquils and others.
Select a well-drained sunny site. For organic matter, you may use compost or ground pine bark. Many use peat moss, which is fine, but it can be expensive, especially since you need to till in at least one to two inches over the whole area. Bulbs will grow in many type soils, though they prefer a medium textured sandy loam. They need good drainage though, or they may rot.
