Thanks ladies. I feel better now about waiting til March to do some WS. Over the past few years I've discovered a lot of the hits and misses as far as plants and shrubs go. My biggest problem is not so much the weather, but the wildlife. I've had to resort to fencing a lot of things because of the deer and groundhogs. I've tried the sprays, soap bars, etc., but the fencing works the best. And their tastes seem to change from year to year. Deer never bothered my hollies and rhodos, but last winter they ate both. I lost the rhodos, but salvaged the hollies with the fencing. What surprised me the most was one or both of them ate snapdragons this past summer. They had never ever been touched before, and they are supposed to be pretty deer & groundhog resistant plants. I guess nothing is absolutely
foolproof!
