Hi ,
I planted shallots and tulips (Zone 5) and wondered if they should be
watered. We haven't been having rain lately. It's about 45 degrees F in
the daytime, 20 at night.

Was the soil really, REALLY dry? Normally that's something I've never bothered
with. But then again, we usually get at least one bout of rain as the temperature
shifts down.

How heavy is your soil? If it drains well, watering now certainly couldn't do any
harm.
