Do you think the freeze got your plants.

13 years ago

I am wondering if I lost some of my plants. The cold here this year was brutal here in the Dallas area. I brought most of my more expensive ones inside but I didn't bring all of them in be ause of room. The ones that are in the ground are the ones I am concerned about.I know it is a little early to tell for most plants. I did have my georgia speedwell come out and it is blooming. It is in its second year and it is a low ground cover with blue flowers so hopefully that is a good sign.

I'm sure by now you know if they survived, up here we deal with bad cold spills more often, sometimes I put frost blankets over the plants.

These I use often, also to keep birds out the ripening fruits.
