And, yes, my mind was being naughty--kinda the way I feel about the "s" and "f" words about this time of year, too--every year. ;-) We have been above freezing for a few days, but now slipping back. I think our forecasts are similar next week. The difference is our spring hasn't started yet. It sounds like most of your plants will bounce back just fine.Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-4486465651866712102018-02-20T17:23:28.012-08:002018-02-20T17:23:28.012-08:00Hopefully this cold isn't too hard on your gar...Hopefully this cold isn't too hard on your garden. There's something about that photo with the snowdrops and epimedium foliage that I just love. I can literally get just far enough into my greenhouse to shut the door behind me, with all the plants packed in to protect them.

Not that I have anything particularly iffy out in the garden, but I did want to continue with projects out there, and frozen soil makes that impossible.
