Things were bad here in southern Vermont last night. I will know later in
the day, but certainly over 1/2 of my hostas were frozen last night. Lots
of mushy hosta salad for lunch. Sprayed water early but have my doubts. I
always thought thick and well-substanced leaves were a good thing. The
leaves now clank together like ice cubes.
Prior to this there were a number of other heavy frosts which were a great
barometer in determining what hostas had any plantaginea species in
them.They all went first.
In the immortal words of Yosarian in Catch 22: " So it goes."
Maybe next year.
"Ding an sich."...is it really there?
