Bulbs Growing Now

[peterowitz]

I'm sure you get this question every fall, but I couldn't get a clean hit searching historical groups.

Bulbs we planted in early November are poking through in early December! We're in mid-Connecticut and I expect it to get much colder before it gets any warmer.

Any suggestions for protecting the tender bits?

Don't worry about it. As long as the flower buds don't come up you're fine.

No need... they'll figure it out themselves.

You may get some browned leaf tips in the spring, but the flower buds are still down in the bulb with most bulbs.

If you get a cold, dry, not-very -snowy winter, consider shoveling some snow on top of them (just a few inches) when there is snow on the ground.
