Re: I'm Published


 

Yes, hoping for at least 6" of snow before I stop worrying about my plants, especially all the new iris I planted this fall, lots of spuria and species iris.  They'd all taken before the cold weather hit, but still, I prefer that snow mulch before a hard frost.

>Not much snow here as yet, Mark.  Not all parts of my garden are even covered in snow.  There's maybe about 2" of snow still lying on >the ground.  The temps are above normal too, thankfully, or I'd be really worried about my plants.  Last week, we even had icy rain.
 
El,
     I hope you get some more soon because if there is a sudden cold spell with that little or no snow, that could be a big problem.  The weather is messed up in many places.  For instance, southern Finland is snow free and right now they are getting freezing drizzle in the Arctic Circle.  Not good.
     As for us today, nearby Crystal River, FL reported the highest official temperature in the USA.  We had the same reading here.
