Been a hectic 2 weeks. Sales are going well & plants are blooming out of season due to the variable weather.

Some color in the nursery. We had 35° last night so a few plants are showing light frost damage. Most are just fine.

Not as chilly this morning only in the low 30's. Some newly potted, reported in the greenhouse! What's growing in your area?

Woke up to 23°f/-5c out. At least the sun is out. Not much breeze so a lot of early flowering buds will be effected. I didn't cover my tree peonies or lilacs so I may not get blooms this year!
