Sprouting bulbs - please help!

I planted bulbs for spring in November. Having peeked at them today, a few have started to sprout and peek above the soil. Are they all going to die horribly when we get any frost?

If you planted them at the right depth, they'll be fine.

It's normal for them to be putting up leaves at this time of year - in my garden, daffodils, snowdrops and grape hyacinths are all above the ground. One of the nice things about autumn - that you can already see the signs of the spring to come.

If they were planted in November it is early for them to be growing now. (the weather has been muggyish and wet) They won't die if it gets colder, maybe put some protective mulch on them if frost is predicted.

Fingers crossed then they'll be fine!
