**** ce soir

Winnipeg, MB(Zone 2b)

Supposedly the dreaded precip tonight. And -2C below freezing. My lilies are over 2ft. some of the martagons will be OK but all the asiatics???? Have put boxes/pails/large pots over the orientals with rocks on top. So if the others get hit, just too bad. I think in Florida they spray the orange groves early in the AM after a frost so think I'll try that. Grrr.

Yes, I said I always soak any incoming bulbs/rhizomes in a chlorox solution for at least 30 mins, and then rinse very well before planting. Mould doesn't matter too much on bulbs but if they are very dried out, then soak overnight before planting. That may plump them up.
