Re: planting out dates?

**N* S* <s*@earthlink.net>**

The traditional planting date for tender plants is also Memorial Day  
in Lapeer County in Michigan, some 50 miles north of Detroit. May 15th  
is the date in Metro Detroit. This year we have had a warm  
April( popped up into the 80's one day) and trees and shrubs are about  
2 weeks ahead of schedule. However, until this week we have been  
dropping into the 30's and 40's at night and I have some frost damage  
on tree and shrub leaves close to the house that are in micro  
climates.  Great year for daffs, lousy year for tulips.

By the way Jeff, my soil is also teaming with microbes:-)
