Hoping the basjoo p-stems survive, but not holding my breath.

Luckily (at least for the plants) we have about 2 feet of snow on the ground which should help in the insulation department.

In the below pic you can see the HH bunker and the various mounds containing dwarf orinoco and whatever the superdwarf plants are.



Ironically, because of the way I set up the basjoo, it is the least protected by the snow.



Merry Christmas to all.
Wow that looks COLD! I cant wait to see the unboxing in the spring! You look to have your plants well protected plus the insulation from the snow.. wishing you luck! Merry Christmas!
