We have had basically no winter here this year and now all my bulbs are coming up! I know the Crocus usually come up early, but the Hyacinths are coming up too and quickly lol I'm going to be so upset if it snows and they die I planted like 40 of them lol
You can always cover them with plastic or something else so that they don't get frost on them.
I have my garden in the ground and peas and tomatoes are already coming up. But we have no winter in San Diego, so that helps.
If you do get a forecast of surprise cold snap, take a white sheet or cloth and drape it over the more tender plants- it can hold in some warmth and protect them from moderate snow or frost.
Hopefully you just end up with a nice bloom. We've had a fairly mild winter too. DH just went out today to water the trees we planted in the fall so they won't die. We are about to head into our snowiest month though so we shall see. Oh yea, and everything is still VERY brown here :)
