Here in Alberta by April we are ready for some sun annd warm weather. We want to get out and do some gardening and see some color and smell some flowers but as I said this is Alberta and spring comes a little later here than other places. We can still get a blizzard that totally destroys the little plants that are tentatively poking their tender heads out of the ground. I had some large leaf bags and I opened them up and made a tent that I weighted down and secured with garden spikes so the wind won't blow them off. Now I hope that protects them enough.
