Hard Winter

12 years ago

Hello all -
I haven't been here in quite awhile. Here in NW Arkansas we had a long winter. One day during January I checked on my plumies in the barn only to find the heater had failed. How long I don't know. In short, I lost all my plants to freezing. Some I had grown from seed. So, I'm starting over. Kinda hard to throw away the carcass of a 6 footer or two.
Hope everyone's survived the winter and you're getting lots of color!

Yep, that totally sucks! So sorry that happened to you.

I had that happen about 8 years ago. Luckily I only had 3 plumeria at the time.
