Re: outdoor sowing of perennials

Please indicate where in zone 6b are you?,regions would help,for
comparision sake.
I.e.here in the northern sections of zone 6(s.w.Idaho)it has been
abnormally mild,and fear the fruit trees will bloom prematurely as a
result.When this happens we tend to lose all potenial fruits due to hard
frost which are an ever present threat well into April..(as soon as
cloud cover moves out frost can result)

So really El Nino has gifted us with a VERY mild winter here but as with
all things,its a trade off now what will grow,bloom and as a result be
damaged badly by the most probable frosts..And then there is the subject
of insects which suffered next to not at all by low temps,so they will
be out in full force soon.Rats..But cant say I havent enjoyed this more
like 7b winter,El Nino come back soon now ya hear!!
