Answer :

I would dig them up and wrap them in single newspaper and put them in the refrigerator drawer until the day that you move..........then move them in a cooler and the keep them in a very cool place and plant them as soon as you can work & amend the ground......put some bone meal in the bottom before putting the bulbs in the ground.  Good luck with your move.
