Re: OT: weather

Donald and Iris-listers,
We did in fact get caught by that big storm. We had 60+ mph winds that
burned the petals right off the iris. Lots of broken/snapped bloom
stalks but nothing laid down. <G>
To follow this we are slated for our first freeze since March 20th
tonight. It is supposed to be 29 tonight and freezing again tomorrow
night. We have spent the last 2 hours covering things with buckets and
pots in an effort to protect everything I couldn't haul back into the
greenhouse. The iris are on their own as I don't have 958 buckets!!
Cross your fingers for us and I will hope this cold front doesn't slam
anyone else.
