Should be, after last winter!
W says the large potted CIDP was the worst to lug in 😯

Barb looks like they will make it. Did the Rostrata needles touch the plastic while covered?

That occurred to me too John.
the plastic appeared to be at least 1 inch away from spear tips.
Unless wind whipped it up and down.

And with no snow or rain, there wasn't anything heavy to drop the plastic.

Dead parts don't seem to be expanding.

They haven't been watered since September ... 4 months bone dry under an overhang. 🙄

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Barb they are probably a little thirsty. I watered everything planted out last week since we have been having a warm spell for a quite a while now. Hope it lasts.

I thought the condensed moisture under the leaf bags would be enough... 😕

You watered everything????
Thought they didn't need water when soil's cool/cold.
I haven't even watered the Trachy in the heated palm hut for ... well...maybe I did once. Can't remember now.
Ground was never frozen in there.

Aaaargh!

Barb I water at least a couple of times in the winter. I almost lost a S. minor a couple of years ago due to dying of thirst.
