I uncovered my patch last week. I tried to save some P-stem, from 2-5 feet, I appears I was able to save about half of that height, not bad considering I saw -24 F and had an average Feb. temp of 8 F.

Just one week into it's spring season there is much elongation and some true leaves are already unfurling. Any one who doubts basjoo's ability to withstand a zone 4-5 winter should re-examine their skepticism.
