Last year, when I posted this message, I received one or two condolences,
assuring me that the seedlings wouldnbt survive the winter.  Am happy to
report that both survived and prospered, and Ibm looking forward to seeing
bloom next spring.  --  Griff

Just finished planting seeds today  --  2 months later than usual.  Imagine my
surprise when, opening the winter frame (a mesh-topped enclosure open to the
weather), I found two sprouts in a pot left over from a previous year.  One
has three leaves, the other two, and both are less than 3 inches tall, so I
must conclude that they have sprouted during the last couple of weeks.  Never
had fall sprouts before.  The pot was completely shaded, so I moved it to the
opposite wall of the enclosure, where it will get winter sun and warmth
reflected off the wooden wall, and gave it a light covering of pine straw.
The low was 22 last night.  It warmed up to 39 today.  Plum Wine bloomed today
