Mary Ann.. It is going to be a great spring here lot's of green showing and the growth on last year's crop of seedlings was better than I expected should get to see a lot of them bloom. I am finding some Botrytis and winter kill in there but nothing like last year and some of that is to be expected with the hard winter we had again multiple days in the -15 range. I think the difference this year was during the worst of it we had a lot of snow cover so it insulated the plants and protected them from the harsh winds. It will take a couple weeks to get through all the beds but so far so good
Lucy..Hopefully you guys come out OK and they had just had a little extra insulation this year.
