A peak inside two teepees today:
No apparent mold or moisture problem.

Looks like the inner plastic collapsed around this one, which could lead to moisture problems by spring.

So far so good.

Another 3 months.

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

Most years you wouldn't need heat, Tim.

Hopefully your snow cover will help get your plants through this mess.

Looking good so far Barb. Those large Xmas lights do the trick.

Last spring when I uncovered them, there was a lot of fungus on one Washy.
But it grew out of it, despite losing the top bud, so now it's leaning.
Fingers crossed for this year.
