I'm in zone 7. Our last frost date is April 20, but we haven't had a freeze for several weeks now. Our first frot date is supposed to be Oct. 20, but we didn't get anything until after election day. I've found that, lately, I can usually get a couple of weeks beyond the scheduled dates on either end. I uncovered the ones I have in the ground, and brought the ones I had stored, bare root, in the cool basement, out on April 5. If we get a really cold night again, I can drag them back in, and throw some type of a cover on the in-ground ones. A few days ago, the predicted the temperature for today would be in the sixties. This morning, the said it would get to seventy. It's 75° F now.
