Default These are the times that make our plants different

Temp is not too bad now, its only in the teens at worst, could easily be single digits and below zero. That would be bad, especially before this snow cover. The heavy snow, 30 or so inches today actually helps to insulate the basjoos and any others anyone buries up here.
Sure am ready to retire to any southern.............................
Took some pics of the snowy wonderland, will post a few tomorrow if any are interested, too tired shoveled all day!
Merry Christmas belated!!

My mom is in the Martinsburg area. She had basjoo for a few years. Did good but died at 0 degrees.

Yowza! That's insane. I'm in northeast Georgia and we barely got a dusting (after a couple inches of rain) from Jonas.
