@AgaveGirl1, yes, it is not our typical winter though. We just have a lot of cloudy/rainy days this year. It surprises me also! Climate change? But then, when it shines, boy, it shines, we have winter days that we wear summer clothes still in January or February. It would be an even more surprise to tell that March can usually more cold than winter months.:D
All efforts for plants are worth it, after all, they give us such joy when our efforts flourish. Plants are the ultimate frontier. :)
Hope you are having a nice day!
