    If you are moving bulbs that have already sprung up, as long as you get up as much of the surrounding soil and roots when digging them up, they should be fine. It may also help to have planting holes pre-dug in the new location (with similar growing conditions) so you can replant your bulbs as soon as possible after digging them up. This article will help with any shock that the plants may experience: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/learn-how-to-avoid-and-repair-transplant-shock-in-plants.htm If you are simply planting out bulbs that have previously been stored over winter, then take them from their stored locations and plant them in a suitable location that receive plenty of light and drainage.

    Yes, it should be fine to go ahead with your early spring cleanup, weather permitting. Most of the spring bulbs that pop up now, along with blueberry plant growth, are fairly hardy so they shouldn't be affected by any snow or cold temps. Hopefully, winter will soon be gone for good and warmer weather taking its place. I would, however, hold off on any spring planting until it's warmer and the threat of frost or freeze is passed.

    Take them out before planting.

    Yes, you can go ahead and do so now but it may interfere with the future flowering of those that haven't yet bloomed for this season. They will, however, bloom again next year.

    Typically bulbs are not sold by the gallon. But if you found a site that does sell them this way, I would recommend contacting them and asking. Even among the same species, bulb size can vary greatly depending on the quality of the bulb, age of the bulb and the variety.
