I am keeping my fingers crossed for you GGK! They look very well tucked in!
It snowed on the hills down the road last night and it is going to freeze here tonight. It is only 8pm and it is already down to 36 degrees.
So although I covered as much as I could last night and didn't peak under the covers today, I went out and bought more of the plastic cloth I also use for covering cuttings while they root, and covered even more.
Here is a photo of Billie Green, with the cloth covering four rows of the new members of my collection that I bought as 2" starts this spring and summer. The big guys like Billie Green have got to tough it out. If they can't make it, then I can't grow them.
