We have had a good spring here and have lots of scapes. Our garden is in south/central Indiana near the Illinois border. Minimal winter losses this spring. We have, however, noticed much lower than average buds per scape this year and wondered if that could be the effect of a bad winter, with two spells of fifteen below. Wondering if severe or sudden cold could kill the buds that form the scapes and/or the buds???
Sorry to hear about your lousy spring. Since these are established varieties, it sure seems like it was something in your winter or spring weather that affected them. I hope you have a good summer and the ones that are hanging in there will recover completely. Bob
