One thing about Denver... the winter sun is strong at this altitude and it can get up in to the 60s and 70s even in Dec - Feb. I think my p-stem turned to mush last March. And in March it can get into the 80s. But then it always goes back to cold and some snow in April. Difficult climate to deal with!
Well definitely keep us all posted. I'm curious to see whether bubble wrapping, insulating or mulch is better ways to go. I'm guessing whatever we do for our plants there is winner either way. As long as they grow in the spring is all that matters.
