We had a very bad cold snap in early Dec. that solved some of my excess plant issues. No snow and bitter cold, dry wind for a week. The lilies and Iris are fine, the lilies actually grew very well for me here in this awful place, I mulch and that is something they really like. And this spring I kept them copper sprayed for late frost so didn't lose so many bloom buds. And my small onions survived, I was told by a "grower" that they wouldn't overwinter here so I guess I will just have to find out everything for myself all over again.
