I remember Rick posted something about that a little while back............
To give credit where due, that useful tidbit came from Lorn, not me. I actually have very little experience with spring frost damage. Before climate change, the winter soil froze very deeply here; I never had to worry about late frosts, because the cold ground kept things from emerging too early. Now I mulch heavily during winter for the same reason, and this spring was the first time I've ever put a bucket over any growing lily for frost protection.
