Well considering how crappy cold this winter was here in Bruce County Ontario. the coldest on record for most of this winter, the ground is going to be doing this frost/thaw quite a bit in the next while. we are up to 40F and then down to -10F over 2 days.........
It was just on the news that many of the tulips might get frosted and no flowers here this year at all. the daffs and crocus should be ok
but I have 300 plus new lilies planted that are not going to like this frost, thaw.
not expected to see much change until sometime in the start of June.... late late spring with all the lakes frozen...
so I am thinking frost blankets will be the best thing to help save the lilies from this frost/thaw and maybe the tulips too..
just thought I would add this tip in case anyone will be having the same issues with their gardens as well.
I am going to pot my new lilies until the new bed is done in 12 inch by 10 in deep pots and move them in and out of the garage until the danger of the hard frosts are over..
I do not like the Canadian Winters.....
usually we have a typical winter here for zone 5 but not this year or last year for sure...
