        Hi!

        I have received Joe Pye's catalogue and haven't opened it yet!
        How is that for discipline?  If I look at it, I'm lost for three
        hours and I can't afford that until the week-end.  Obviously, I have
        no discipline.

        Hey, I thought Buffalo was a winter-ravaged place!  Zone 5 OR 6?
          
        I can't complain (but I will anyway). The White Mountains in New
        Hampshire, USA (thanks, Gunnar) have been pretty mild this winter -
        very few days of -30 and no -40 unless you are skiing on top of a
        mountain which a certain husband in this house has done.  Last year
        it was even milder with a Zone 4 or 5, depending on where you were.

        BUT, that was a bad year for TB around here (I don't have them)..
        the freezing and thawing and loss of snow cover, etc.  A few years
        ago we have a Zone 2 winter at my house (temps, went to -42 below).
        My (then 8 yr.old) daughter came running into the house and told 
        me it was too cold to stand outside and wait for the school bus
        with the wind whipping down on the kids (they had so many layers
        on, they walked like penguins).  But they took the bus wearing face
        masks like little bandits....the flowers did fine.  The snow cover
        is good and I mulch with pine needles (almost everything) but some
        don't around here and they do pretty well regardless. I do not mulch
        established peonies or lilacs, etc.

        Regards,
