Because Spring is my favorite time of year, I really do like it to take its time, but it can be really harsh on plants. Today was blowing, raining, and from what I could see looking up to the ridge, there was thick ice on the trees
I’m truly sorry for those who lost trees- and hope that if your damage was less, that they recover quickly.
I’ve been sorting through the hoophouse where last year’s plants have overwintered. There are some nice trees and shrubs with an extra year’s growth on them if you’re in a position to plant now. Here is a quick video describing them but email for more information.
During a snowstorm in late February this overflow hoophouse collapsed, where I also overwinter what’s left. Entirely my fault- I expected the snow to shed as it always had but it went through a melt/freeze rock sold couple of cycles and just gave up. Not a lot of terrible damage except I have to rebuild it!
Bareroot trees and shrubs are coming next week! If you are interested check out the plant lists on the website. Planting a bareroot tree is not hard, and in my opinion it’s mighty easy to take care of a leafless tree and let it naturally adapt to the weather.
Bareroot is 10% off until potted. And only available by appointment- email is good.
Enjoy the plump buds, bulbs, and greening up of everything this week 🙂
