"You guys get terrible cold weather"
Especially last winter... haven't had one like that in a LONG time! And yet... my garlic, chives, bleeding hearts, and really everything else came through just fine. And, really strange -- a redbud tree that I planted a couple of years got through it okay, but a mountain ash that is at least 10 years old (!! what is hardier than that?? they're native trees up in the northern UP for heaven's sake) barely leafed out and lost its leaves very early -- not sure if it will bounce back next year or not.
Our lows have been dipping into the low 30s, but until the last few nights staying just above frost... have had a couple of light frosts with the full moon, but now it looks like a good week to go without freezing. Every day feels like a gift right now!
