Thanks for the beautiful photo. I hope your flowers survive. I'm really ready for warm spring weather, too.

Harry,

My Azaleas have been blooming since before Christmas. We had some very cold days (25-28 degrees) and some pretty heavy frost and my plants seemed to thrive. I am sure yours will do just fine. Gorgeous pictures!

Hey Harry,

They should be fine, but if you are real worried about them just put a trash bag over them but be sure to remove it early in the AM. I looked at my George Tabors the other day and they are budding! Whoo Hoo, spring really is getting here.

My daylillies are about 10 inches high, and the daffodils are all in bloom. Lots of plant activity going on in the gardens but still do not dare to remove to much of the winter mulch. We are suppose to be getting another cold snap!

Hey Harry,

Glad it was a false alarm.

We have been in a cold snap, but starting next week we are suppose to get into the 70's. Woo Hoo, was at Lowe's today...all the plants are coming in and I am sure ready to start another year of landscaping!
