If you don't have a large enough pot to leave your bulbs outside during the winter, you can stash them in an enclosed space. A shed or garage that will stay cold but provide protection from snow and extreme cold are perfect. You can leave larger, well-insulated pots outside. The cold air actually helps the bulbs bloom later in the spring. As long as your bulbs are well-insulated, the outside air temperature won't matter much. Every few days, stick your finger into the potting soil around the bulbs. If the soil feels dry down to 1 in (2.5 cm), water the soil until water runs out of the drainage holes. After about 6 to 8 weeks in a chilly environment, you should see some green growth from your bulbs. If you're keeping your pot inside a garage or shed, you can move it outside once you see this growth. Too much sunlight can cause the bulb growth to wilt. An area with light shade gets about 60% shade and 40% sunlight and is the perfect place for your potted bulbs. Once your bulbs bloom, they'll need more water than they did when they were growing. Stick your finger into the soil to a depth of 1 in (2.5 cm) and check if the soil is dry. If it is, water the soil until water runs out of the drainage holes. Squirrels are likely to try to dig into your pots and get at the bulbs. You can cover the top of the pot with mesh wiring to protect the bulbs from squirrels and other critters. Bugs shouldn't be a problem during the winter, but if you start to notice some buzzing around, you can use a general insect repellent.
