Ain't that the truth- I didn't think I would ever get all the plants
inside or covered last night, kept finding another one:)
No comment on the anemones, but my Cimicifuga bloomed about a month
ago.... but my plant timing has been way off since spring time. Did get
some nice combos that I will probably never see again... also some that
really clashed as if I was color blind since some where early and others
late. Very strange season here!
I am planning on a lot of plant loss next spring. Very stressful year
for them, cold wet spring, hot humid stormy summer, and now an early
fall/winter.
Too dark yet to see how bad the frost was, but must have gotten windy
here as some of my coverings are blown around. Will have to assess the
damage tonight when I get home from work.
