We're down to 8F so no thawing here. Just hope that all that came out of the snow can handle this cold for a while.

I got mine yesterday, Annette, but didn't open the box until today. I got Cactus Jack, Vanilla Raspberry Swirl and 3 Rubyettes. I already had 1 Vanilla Raspberry Swirl from Khlem's Song Sparrow from last fall but don't think I took pictures of it to compare. Mine look a lot like yours, growing already but a bit dry. I'll have to put mine in pots as there is far too much ice out there to try to dig!

Liz, I'm glad you got your plants. Potting them up is a great idea. I hope your ground thaws soon. I got 5 of mine planted yesterday, I still have the 2 Rubyettes to plant.

Got mine yesterday. I watered them and potting them up tomorrow . They are going to Virginia so no reason
to plant them here.

Double up some plastic bags, plant them in the bags, and they will be just fine for the move, right?

Do you think Deb?? Would be so much easier then pots I just checked and the dirt on my deck should be all defrosted tomorrow. I know I am going to be moving most of my plants in bags except for the BIG ones

Thanks @ Debra that is just what I am doing when I get home tomorrow

Great idea. When/if the time ever comes for us to move I will have to hire a truck to haul all my plants and having them in bags would indeed be easier than pots.
