I might elaborate a bit on Boyce's comments for the non-hardy bulbs, here
in the Frozen North.

I just read this piece from a few days ago and was amused by the reference
to the frozen north. I wonder how many of the readers of this list realise
Indiana is on the same latitude as south central France and that central
England is roughly ten degrees further north. Whilst I am sure the Jim
will be getting colder temperatures than most of us over here, he will be
getting more hours of daylight each day and, probably, light of a far
better quality. Today, it was dusk by around 3.30pm and dark by
4.00pm. It would be interesting to understand the effects on growing that
these issues cause.

Best regards,
