I wish I would've known about this last year! Maybe we wouldn't of froze the tops off our tomatoes and beans!
I don't know if it's folklore, farmer/gardener lore or something my mother should have told me, but apparently the lilacs blooming are a signal that it's safe to plant here in Montana. I think this is true for other parts of the country as well!
I talked my husband into some raised beds this year, mostly so that I can cover the plants that I want to keep early in the fall to protect them from frost. We had late tomatoes last year (had to replant) and by the time they really started coming on, we were hit with another killing frost! This year I'll have a better system to cover them at night, I'm getting out the big plastic!
Here's a couple of pictures of the lilacs blooming, I need to get me some of these!
