Would you believe, I have that book? You all were praising so much last
year, I bought it for myself for Christmas! But, I haven't looked at it for
awhile, and guess I forgot that it had winter information, as well as that
for the growing season. How silly of me! Guess I better go get it out and
see what it has to say about my plants!
I suspect my winter is real similar to Kentucky; maybe just a little warmer.
But, as you say, ice instead of snow, thunderstorms as likely as winter
storms in December and January...
Thanks!
