Default spring bulbs up

Hi

I did plant my spring bulbs earlyish this time, and the mild weather has
made them shoot, several are above the surface one is 6 inches tall !! -
will I lose these when the frost sets in ?

Not unless they're some tender exotic.

Russia's a *BIG* place.

If you put them in as bulbs, be prepared for some disappointment in the
spring, assuming they behave like our native ones. They prefer being
transplanted in the green.

Russia's a *BIG* place.

And *ALL* of it gets colder than here, thanks to us being kept warm by the
Gulfstream.
