The daffodils will bloom for you without chill. Go ahead and plant them. FYI all daffodils will not persist (come back year after year) in the deep south. There are those that will, but more that won't. So, depending on the varieties you bought, you may or may not see them after two to four years. Neverthless, you'll enjoy them for now and can do research in the meantime. Crocus tammasinianus will bloom and return for you. That is the kind that is commonly sold here, so with a bit of luck, you should be alright with that. The hyacinths, however, do need chill for 8 to 10 weeks in order to bloom. I understand about the space issue. By next year, I intend to have a little dorm fridge that I can run in the garage for the few weeks it takes to chill bulbs. I have been known to chill bulbs in the church refrigerator too, although this requires permission. :) If you want to learn more about bulb growing in the south, get your hands on Scott Ogden's Book, "Garden Bulbs for the South", which I discovered based on recommendations from others in this forum. Without a doubt, I have saved more than enough on bulbs that don't have a chance of thriving here than the cost of the book. And, my pleasure in bulb growing has multiplied tenfold. (I have Grand Soleil D'Or and Grand Primo Paperwhites in full bloom in my yard right now. It surely does brighten up January!)

I thought I would post an update to my situation... after having thermostat things replaced, things were working better but still not normally. Now I would say we are back to square one. I can't depend on the oven to keep temp. I couldn't dream of getting it to do 450 degrees and stay there. The holidays are coming and I'll plan our cooking around it. People have posted here considering purchasing Big Chill and I would never recommend buying BIg Chill. Their customer service is terrible, nearly non-existent. Something is very wrong with their engineering (Bluestar) since a gas oven isn't exactly rocket science. The cheap tin can GE range that the Big Chill replaced worked a million times better. In our previous house we installed a Viking dual fuel. It was solid as a rock, never had an issue with it. Why did we buy Big Chill? If I'm being honest, it was because they look great. Beautiful colors, great styling. I did a little research but come on, would anyone expect all these troubles from a gas oven range? We are considering buying an induction range. It would be really easy to buy a Big Chill Induction in French Blue to replace our lemon. But I won't be taking that chance. This time around I will maybe have to forego the looks for something that works. I just don't want to take another gamble on Big Chill.

Climate zone 10 (probably on the border between 10a/10b), less than 150 hours of chill. Blenheim Apricot produced 11 fruits, though only about 5 of them fully developed. The tree had been planted in the ground only 2 years before that, so I'd say that's pretty good. Rainier cherry in partial shade seems to have no problem blossoming, Bing cherry tree appears to be able to grow just fine, and there were maybe 10 blossoms on it last year. Still too young for fruit though, I'll have to let you know. Two months ago I grafted a small branch of Royal Minnie on it, so there is a possibility that might help induce the tree to be able to fruit, wake it up faster from its dormancy. The graft took and that branch is now bursting full of blossoms and leafing. The lack of chill isn't a total curse here, it is possible to grow most types of tropical fruits (growing a banana and lychee tree, and there's someone not that far from here with a huge starfruit tree in their backyard). It's the type of place people are more likely to have an orange tree or avocado, but almost never an apple or plum tree. There are a few people around here who've planted a low-chill Babcock peach, but I've never seen much fruit in these trees. A long time ago in the 40s, there used to be commercial orchards of Blenheim apricots around here. But I think the region gets a lot less winter chill than it used to due to all the development that has happened and asphalt paved surfaces.

The extension service for your local state university may be able to refer you to their list of wholesale sources. Or try UC Davis. Commercial farmers in my area plant bare root trees. Robert Smaus, formerly the Los Angeles Time garden editor, has several lists and detailed commentary on some varieties in his excellent paperback book https://www.amazon.com/Weeks-California-Garden-Robert-Smaus/dp/1883792118  Some of the listed varieties may be suited to the warmer winters that have occurred since the book was published in 1996. Chill hours are given for some.
