However, you’re much more likely to injure yourself if you fail to warm up your muscles first. As chiropractic doctors can tell you, cold muscles are more prone to strains and sprains. To warm up, take a brisk five- or ten-minute walk, do ten jumping jacks, or simply stretch out muscles that tend to become sore as you work.

In some climates, you can plant until Thanksgiving or even Christmas. Late-planted bulbs develop roots in the spring, and may bloom late. But they’ll arrive on time by next year.
