I just bought bulbs and now we are going to move...

I just received bulbs from Holland about a week ago. When I purchased them this spring from Brecks, I didn't know we would be moving. We will probably be moving in January. I really don't want to plant the bulbs here, I want to take them with me. What is my best option? Should I try to store the bulbs (if so how?), or should I plant them in pots and keep them in the garage? I live in northern Utah and the bulbs I have are, tulips, daffodils, poppies, grape hyacinth and Allium. Please help! Thank you:)

Doug says he'd plant them in pots and try to keep them from freezing to 5F. Cold is fine but a really deep freeze is to be avoided. Soil temperatures rarely go down that deep. Plant them and water them and keep them cool.

Do not try to store them - they'll tend to die when stored cool and dry over an entire winter. They want to be planted.

Good luck
