Re: spring blooms

Well,
    Ma Nature certainly is seeing that we get our exercise here. Everything
that has come in and been potted up over the past two weeks is out of
greenhouse for the most part. That means tender new growth... that will not
stand the low temps that are forecast. We had to move all the trays with
tender growth to one area, get a frame constructed and stretch remay over to
protect. The rest of the trays had to be repositioned so remay could get
over them in lines of 4 feet by 50 feet. No more potting up until this cold
snap is past.......
    Garden will simply have to ride it through... no way we can get out
there and cover what is up at this point. Think most will get through OK...
after all much of the garden is native... and the can generally take the
abuse of yo-you temps.
    Wonder what plants did until humans came along to fuss over them.....
