Tabby - Yea, you guys on the western side of town got it a lot worse than I did on the eastern plains. The winds were bad, but my yard was still 100% buried in about a ft of snow, so I didn't have any problems with the drying out part. My Wate's Gold pine was blown over, but I checked & the roots hadn't been exposed, so I just pulled it back upright & tied it to the fence. It should be fine. Didn't lose any branches off my silver maple, so I know the winds weren't all that bad here... probably 20-30mph. I noticed that most of my columbines that survived are starting to peep out and a few of my miniature roses are starting to leaf out. I think I'm gonna try it with a milkjug or two. Couldn't hurt! Where would I get Rootone?
