I disagree with the headline for this article. Who has "crops" in the ground? No farmer is that dumb.

Well some things come up early like tulips. If they are already up and blooming or just getting ready to bloom it's a good idea to cover them. What does the damage to the plants is the Sun burning the frost off of them. So anything that see's the morning sun should be covered if possible.

Yeah, I know, but my wife buys all those and I put them in for her. Unfortunately, due to some bad situations which I had no control over, I can't afford to make my yard look nice this year.

So all the stuff that has been planted and came up early wont freeze? I had no idea it worked that way, it will only effect the newly planted stuff, but all my lilies that have been around for 10 yrs and are already up will be fine? Do get the tone of this?

Just Me - I didn't plant anything new, but the plants already planted from previous years (known as perennials) didn't ask my permission before sprouting! It's not a case of people error this time!

Oh, you must not be thinking of the Perennials that decide to bloom on their own, right?

@Just Me
They are called Perennials... They come back every year!

Or if all you people would have waited to plant as you were advised to, you wouldn't have to worry at all.
