We are snowless, which means I am going to lose some plants. We're getting into the single digits this week. You know I really will send you cuttings. I left long stems on the canes, but I just fell behind in work and I'm still there. My husband said this is the first he's seen me back to my normal cleaning and organizing self since I hurt my back in 2008 (surgery in 2009). I'm organizing his workshop as a Christmas present. I've been in the basement since Friday and I'm nowhere near done. And the holiday decorations are still up. But it's a long winter...
