Every year I plant at least a few new spring flowering bulbs as a pledge of happiness before the long and sometimes dreary winter. This year included daffodils- white with orange cups, yellow King Alfred types, and double ruffled ones. Chionodoxa (little blue star flowers that naturalize well) were overplanted among the white and orange ones. Some years are crocus years, some years are tulip years, and so forth.
I especially like daffodils because the deer don't eat them. (not safe for humans, either)
If you were a super prepper you might plant tulips b/c the bulbs are edible by humans, but you might have to beat the deer off- they love to eat the flowers.
Preparing for a little joy some months, and years, ahead seems like a good investment to me.
