It's bulb-planting time! I don't care how time-strapped you are, you can find time to put in a few bulbs and I promise you that you'll be glad you did come spring!
My own best piece of acvice for you - skip the "bulb planter" devices and use a shovel. Dig a large hole and plant groups of 7 or more bulbs in the same hole. Your spring flowers will make a much bigger show this way than a few isolated bulbs scattered around with big spaces in between them.
Here's some more good info for you:
