Here, I am certain that there will be some damage. I don't have any
bloom stalks showing, and only a couple down in the fans. My neighbor,
on the other hand, has IB and a couple of confused TB already in bloom.
We are supposed to have nights in the teens and twenties for 4-5 days.
My cool weather veggies, iris, azaleas and daffodils are covered to
protect them from the cold, but I am afraid the weather has ruined my
daffodil hybridizing for the year. It is quite possible that the peach
and blueberry crops will be ruined, and the Vidalia onion crop damaged
by the late freeze, which is expected to cover almost all of Georgia.
Dogwoods and saucer and star magnolias will also be affected.
