I wish we could get some snow. Or even rain! It was 74 today, which is wonderful...kinda. I'm stuck inside buried under a pile of tax work. The fruit trees are budding already, which is bad bad bad. Not sure how they did that so quickly, because it was 7 degrees on Thursday!
After a quick inventory of the roses, my estimate is 50% loss. That early freeze last fall was a killer. The extended warmup forecast for this week will encourage more growth, and more freezing weather is inevitable in March.
The Austin catalog came, and there's a 25% off code (UFS) for orders placed before February 27. Maybe I'll get one of the new intros, and also a few of the OGRs they carry.
