Paul, luckily the ones that I need to dig now are in the raised bed next to the house. It's a little thawed out compared to everything else, which is frozen solid. The snow melting off the house just pours on my head, and into the bed, and it's a muddy mess!
Mary Ann, I'd get out a hose, but that is out of the question. I'd have to turn the outside water back on, which is pretty much impossible this time of year, since it would put water into the entire sprinkling system. It's still in the teens here at night, and not always above freezing during the day. Then there is the issue of the water not draining into the ground because it's frozen. I'd need ice cleats, not just boots!
I've got a yard full of daylilies to dig too, but don't need to get them dug until closer to the end of March. I'm hoping for a warm spell!
