Hi again linnea56,

Yeah, mine haven't arrived either. But with the exception of candidum (the subject of your other message) lilies can be planted anytime in the winter as long as you can dig the soil up. (Jackhammers anyone???)

I'm also assuming this is an early cold snap that will pass by. Or at least I hope it is. I'm not ready for cold weather yet!!

I have the exact same "problem", but then again, I still have another raised bed to help hubby dig next week! :0) Phyl

You should be fine. I just finished digging and replanting some lilies and planting some newbies and I'm in zone 4.

Yesterday I put in a couple dozen daffodil bulbs, six iris bulbs and ten potted Montauck Daisy's. Although we've had a couple of light frosts and low temps at night, the ground is still warm and the soil is very easy to work with.
