Doss, I'm with you... I'm not even peeking under those frost sheets until it's at least 60 degrees! That ought to be around late March here!
It is 17 this AM as it has been for the last 3-4 mornings. Luckily we are turning balmy in the afternoons, it gets to maybe 36!
I usually dig up most of the tender stuff but I forgot 2 of my favs. It is so sad to look out there & see mush where the plant was. I finally had to scrape up a bunch of oak leaves & toss over it like a grave.
At least I don't have to look at them right now! What the frost has not killed the deer have eaten, they are also suffering. I thought about buying a bale of hay & tossing it over the fence for them. Then, I'm sure I would have a whole herd here instead of a few!
Here's a pic of two favorite plants that I lost. I'm not even sure what kind of plants they were, My neighbor had given them both to me.I just dug them up every fall & kept them in until after the last frost & put them back in my garden. This would have been their 4th year.
Sorry ,for some reason the "crop" was not working on my photo prog, so I couldn't get rid of the other two pics.
Heck! Mexico does sound good! I have some friends that go down there for all their medical & dental stuff! Let's just get a huge villa & everyone can come down! LOL! Bj
