It seems that all the info I see about fall perennial planting is X number of weeks before first hard freeze. It's my first year in the dirt at this house so I didn't pay attention last year. I found a chart that said there is a 50 percent probability of frost by October 15 and freeze by October 27, 90 percent by 11/1 and 11/12, in Waukegan. That's the closest city to us in the chart, but that's probably at the little airport which is a lot closer to the lake. We're just south of Gurnee. What are your experiences?
