This was a weird winter--so little moisture--followed by several spring snow storms to subject the plants to yet more very cold weather after they'd woken up for the year. The winter/spring/winter weather we experience in April and May is the thing I hate about Colorado weather--even worse that the hail in June and July to me.

thanks, Liz. I don't live here in Denver. I only summer here with brothers, but I understand your frustration.
