Tulips and daffodils for the first time

[NinNinJin]

So I have just ordered bags of both. To plant in our boring garden with zero flowers.
Is it a good idea to plant now? Do I just stick them in the soil in random places? Do they need some plant food?
Or should I leave them in the cellar (I heard smth about taking bulbs out for winter)?
Do I always need to cover them? We don't have squirrels but a lot of naughty foxes.

Please help me get it right I'm a total novice!

Plant them in the garden now, it's the perfect time. Plant in clumps of at least five bulbs per clump, spacing the bulbs according to the instructions. Don't be tempted to put a bulb here, another there. Single bulbs look so meagre.

Get your daffs in now; they have a longer growing season so need to be started earlier. Tulips are better planted later- sometime in November is ideal. Later planting means less likelihood of tulip fire blight. You don't need to feed them; they carry their nutrients in that fat bulb.
Gently chuck down hand handful of daffs in the area you want them and plant them where they fall. This way they look more natural. But make sure it's not too dry a place and not too shady, though they don't mind a bit of shade.
Tulips prefer sun and good drainage. They tend to look better more formally planted. They're lovely with forget-me-nots or wallflowers.
Honestly, you can't go wrong. Bulbs do all the work for you.

Thank you so much!

Plant the daffodils outdoors as soon as possible, the tulips can wait for another few weeks. Plant them around 15cm deep and in small odd-numbered groups with the individual bulbs around 10cm apart. It might be worth getting a small bag of multipurpose compost to add to the planting holes but they don't need feeding. If you'd like some earlier colour in your garden, it's not too late to put in some crocuses and miniature irises, and winter flowering pansies are always cheerful.

Bulbs look best in clumps so put quite a lot in the same space.

Daffs need to be planted fairly deeply otherwise they come up blind.

Agree with clumps or they look a bit sad on their own dotted about!

Slugs enjoy tulips. You may need some deterrent.

Oh that's reminded me that the slugs got to mine last year. We've had a hedgehog move in to our garden so I'm hoping for more success next Spring!
