It is too cold to work outside here.  Minus 26 F. two
> days ago.  I have a few frozen hosta plus damage on other plants.

I have frozen hostas too and irises, which is something I have not seen
before. Do you know if they will come back? Many woody plants like gingko,
walnuts, locusts, Clethra, mulberries and spruces had their new growth
blackened by the frost. A very sad sight to see, especially when flower buds
are included. I know from experience that mulberries will send out new
leaves and hope the rest of the plants will survive too.
