After hanging up my big winter coat 'for good' this season, I came home to freezing rain yesterday! Little ice balls dotted the mulch, they were actually quite pretty.
I'm trying not to freak out because I know the crocuses will be just fine.
Every article I read re-assures me that everything will be just fine. Forecasts say lows will be down to 18°F on Wednesday - but I have to remind myself that the ground has done quite a bit of warming up over the past few weeks, on those days when it was sunny and 65. What a tease!
The clay soil actually warms slower, but will also cool slower - retaining the heat from earlier and leaving the croci basically unphased by the overnight dip.
