Great work! How was it protected over the winter?

Same way as always: Bent it to the ground, buroied it in leaves, put a tarp on it and let it get buried in snow. It takes maybe 5 minutes. My reliable snow helps 😀

Its been a few weeks, and weve gotten some rain. I counted 14 culms this morning.

More then established. Its been in the ground 4 springs now. IT probably would be larger, IF I wasnt stupid, and protected it badly the winter before last :S
