Your concern is shared here to the south, Sandy. I am watching rain pelt
down on the 3 inch (perhaps) snow cover we have left, and looking at the
week's forecast, I'm afraid the ground will be completely thawed again by
week end. This will mark the second complete frozen ground several inches
down /completely thawed ground cycle we've had this winter, and this ain't
good! Puts those newly planted rhizome roots through all sort of gyrations.
Even a mulch of evergreen boughs doesn't help much when the temps go to such
extremes.
