Ah, spring in Calgary is a cruel mistress. After weeks of warm weather, even the tulips were fooled by the spring storm that rolled in last night. I am not sure why it always comes as a surprise. Maybe because we are already getting our gardening suntans or it could be that it just seems unbelievable that after days of +10 and higher that snow could even be possible.
Nevertheless, my tulips and daylilies are buried under a couple inches of slushy snow that should melt within a couple days. I am curious to see how they fare in the long run. Stand by.
