I have had a plantaginea grandiflora showing above ground for a couple of
weeks. Since that first peek of maybe 1/4" (3 buds), it has stayed the
same without growing or browning with all of the 20's we have experienced
over the last couple of weeks. Everything else seems to still be
hibernating (thank goodness!).
Should I cover this plant with some mulch, or what, to keep it from hurting
these tender shoots? Or should I let nature take its course?

Yikes, Mary! Yours are starting to come up? Guess I'd better look a little
closer when I make my rounds of the "back 40."
Michael, Cornelia, Nancy, other East Tennesseans, yours up?
