[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm... I wonder if there are advantages to planting late in this area. I just got cheap tubers last year off amazon, planted late May (perhaps it was even early June). They came up late but very healthy and were constantly blooming through Sept. I was encouraged and bought a ton this year and planted late April. While they are doing OK (in terms of sprouting) I am noticing that some have already been nibbled down (slugs?) and I am worried about how totally soggy the soil has been for the last weeks. Perhaps I'll wait until late May again next year![/quote] Once they’ve sprouted I don’t think rotting is as much of a concern. I have to keep chicken wire up around mine or the rabbits (my personal yard menace) decimate them. If it’s slugs, put down sluggo. It’s just iron phosphate so it’s not like it’s the end of the world if that’s not the problem, you know? [/quote]
