Hi Lily,

To be perfectly honest, I haven't even had the courage to go through the beds and do a real inventory of losses. I've walked the rows many times, but I just keep hoping more of them will resurrect and put out tiny new increases so that I won't have lost the cvs entirely. Over time some of them have reappeared, but only with a rz or two still viable in what were robust, mature clumps last year.

You are welcome to email me privately about availability this year, but there's not going to be much. This is definitely a rebuilding year at Shadowood.

Here's the sad reality. On the left is the way my MDB/SDB rows looked last year at this time. On the right is the way the same rows (pic taken from the same vantage point) look right now.
