<<The corn is planted, but plants for this area are usually waited until May 15th because we still have potential frost issues until that date; I live at a higher elevation relative to surrounding terrain.>> i am a gambler. The rule is don't plant until the after the May Full Moon(May 19th this year). We are coastal, are are last frost and first frost have getting a wider spread for the past 10 years. i keep a diary, and the last late multihour killing frost was May 24th about 1997, it was a costly one as about 50% of the blueberry crop was lost by the one night. If i get an emergency, i will run around putting out frost covers. "Audrey" the Yellow Flowered Burgenmensia(a zone 10 plant--Hawaii/southern Florida)) i have had to put out as usual as if i didn't i couldn't get it out the door of the attached greenhouse/sunporch to my house(just 12' by 15') as after being cut back to 8 inches in November is again already 2.5 feet by 4 feet(i estimate --it's in a plastic pot)--it's weight now about 60 pounds. It will reach 9 feet high/5 feet wide by October(and i have to put in about 100pounds of rock to keep its pot from blowing over in wind). This is its 4th year and it turns heads each year---it produces hundreds of of about 8 inch long "upside down trumpet" flowers with a strong lemony scent. i simply don't know how many times it can "resurrect itself" each year after being lobbed to 8 inches each Fall.Later,Max
