We've been staying around the freezing mark for lows, too, lately but that's "normal" for us for this time of year. It makes it tough to know if things should be covered or to just let them be. I don't pamper very many plants, but I can only imagine how complicated it is for you with the nursery stock!Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-11297852907662165122014-04-22T22:04:26.485-05:002014-04-22T22:04:26.485-05:00So many new spring sights, yes.

In fact it is a lovely specimen as they normally look messy. We were covering plants and taking nursery stock into the garage as it went down to 28 degrees last Tuesday night.

I'll probably put it outside in May, when temps are consistently above 50F. There are so many buds/blooms still forming, so I'm sure there will be plenty left for the bees to pollinate. :)Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-19246738106409150492014-04-21T10:57:53.328-05:002014-04-21T10:57:53.328-05:00Hi Laura: I looked up the Mourning Cloak/Camberwel...Hi Laura: I looked up the Mourning Cloak/Camberwell Beauty connection.

Our temperatures vary from -29C in midwinter to 40C in the summer. Springtime is when the temps are quite variable. It can seem like winter one day and summer the next. I think it would be nice to have a winter without frost or freezes. :)Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-59259626920990605702014-04-20T20:15:59.427-05:002014-04-20T20:15:59.427-05:00Our gardens look similar and I love the change in ...Our gardens look similar and I love the change in the tree in the header....oh and the lemon buds are just gorgeous!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13420133886162844400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-65234068923511436242014-04-19T21:59:21.701-05:002014-04-19T21:59:21.701-05:00You have so many lovely spring flowers, thank you ...You have so many lovely spring flowers, thank you for the pictures.
