i've put tulip bulbs in upside down and would struggle a bit to find where they're planted. will they still come up ok or should i go grab my fork and start digging? hee hee, i'll learn as i grow.

If you planted the bulbs reasonably deep, as tulips prefer and if you soil is on bit heavy side..they might struggle to come up.
Majority should push trough..but there might be some losses too.

Get you fork ready..

thanks goodlife, munching on a caramel wafer and gulping tea down then........grab the fork and get hunting.

Don't bother, they will right themselves. I have frequently just dug a hole and thrown all kinds of bulbs in, any which way up. they grow. About the only ones which would struggle would be Nerines which like to be 33/4 out of the soil.

No problem at all , many years ago a nursery worker who had helped stage tulips late at a national show told workers from another nursery that they got late flowers by planting upside down. the second nursery tried this but they flowered at the same time.
