Julia - I have things coming from Mama too - quite a few plants and am excited about them.
Bob - I am afraid to see what kind of casualties I will have. I lost many plants last year that really surprised me as they are plants that are far hardier than my zone. This past February was colder than last winter for us - they said it was the coldest on record and they started to keep records in our area in 1890.
I am anxious to get out in my gardens. I think it is going to be awhile. I noticed that next week we are supposed to have warm up. If it gets rid of the snow, at a minimum, I can get out there and get things cut back.
