Default Re: planting date for the north

I uncovered mine(basjoos,mulched)a few days ago.
I take the umbrella g-houses I used on my palms and the x-mas lights and set them up this way.
I have a Washy that is still in it's bigger umbrella g-house,they are all connected to a Thermocube that turns on the heat at 35 and off at 45.


It gets up into the 80s in the sun,this should give them about a month jump(headstart),it also allowed me to get all the slime off and let them dry out a little.
Not sure if they will come up from the corms but the pups are still alive and I am sure they will
send out more.
I will try and post a pic tomorrow if I remember.

15 day forecast is for all mid/upper 60s after Tuesday
