Our Midwestern weather has been so goofy lately. A couple of days ago, I noticed that my daffodils are starting to come up and the daylilies are making new growth, yet snow showers and a low around 22 degrees are predicted for tonight. While the sun was shining this morning, I figured it was a good time to use the
Halloween straw to mulch the flower beds for winter. I replanted a few bulbs that had already heaved, cleaned up some stray leaves, and went at it with my bale of straw. I tend to worry over things like this though. Is it too early? Should I wait for the ground to freeze? What if those daffodil tips get frozen? But then I realized, hey, it's just a couple of flower beds. It's not life and death, right? Well, maybe for the daffodils . . . .
