Default Re: Uncovered basjoos in zone 6

These are actually before pictures of when I covered them up back in November, but I've checked and it doesn't look much different as the stem is still very firm, with the pups still completely undamaged.

Even though there's no freezing temperatures in the 15 day forecast, I'm planning on leaving the protection on for another 2 months, or at least until they try pushing leaves through their protective covers which will make sure they don't get set back from a late frost.
