A light freeze is usually no problem in my beds. The warm late March weather had encouraged vigorous growth. The hard unrelenting freeze damaged buds on stocks that had not even formed yet. Damaged the scapes on many of my earlier dayliles too that were only up a few inches. Such is life.

Hard winters usually bring a gorgeous if late spring. I hope I have something blooming for our May2&3 Iowa Round Up. It's not the snow that worries me--it's the 2 inches of ice under it all thay could be smothering it all. I won't know how much loss i will have in the garden until all the snow goes and the ground thaws. We are 40 degrees under normal for March so far....
