Re: CA frost
I was a little too quick to pass judgement on Snow Melt.? The two stalks that had grown to 14 inches show serious damage from the freeze;however, a later stalk looks fine.?

Mike, I am so sorry! I expect to hear that for mid-continent, but not California! Be prepared for major rot outbreak. :-(?
?
Also, fertility may be affected even on later blooms that look normal.?
?
Be sure to let us know which of yours go on to bloom pretty well in spite of being frozen.?
?
If they didn't stay frozen too long, maybe they'll bounce back ok.?

<Just came in from the fields....open flowers are all melting and look like wet tissue paper. Buds coming look OK, at least most of them. will have to wait and see over the next couple of days, maybe the bloom will still be OK. Seed pods look fine. One side benefit, a lot of bugs and certain weeds have died :-) Got down to 30 here, just in time for Barry Blyth's visit.?
