Short answer is that it depends on what types of plants you are planting outside now and what their cold tolerance is.
Good Luck!

My wife was so excited to see her crocuses poking through the dirt and adding some colour to our front flower beds again after a long winter.
2 days later what I'm going to assume was a rabbit came along and ate the heads off every single one of them.

We moved into a neighbourhood with trees and squirrels.
Wife: "Oh they're so cute"
Squirrel runs off with green tomato

Can't entirely tell. Looks like crab grass. It's hell. Pull it all. Spray with vinegar and soap if you don't want to bend over. It makes tons of seeds and spreads fast. You can get selective chemicals from the states to control it but they are banned in Ontario unless you are a golf course or park. The mind boggles on the stupidity of it all.
I planted a Magnolia tree today and did a half acre of grass seed with a couple yards of triple mix on the problem areas. Will do another acre of seed and triple on Wednesday.
Magnolias are beautiful trees. First to flower on the spring. Nice bright leaves the rest of the season.
Whatever you do, do not rake up the blossoms and leave them in a garbage pail that will get water in it.
They will rot and smell like pig chit. We put them out for collection and they smelled so bad the garbage men wouldn't take them. I had to bury them in the garden.
Even in the paper yard bags they smell if they get wet. I wait until they dry after they fall off. The leaves are also tough and heavy in the fall take up. But worth the work.
