JoanJ,

Join us? Absolutely.

Three winters ago we (Butte) lost a ton of old and established perennials due to the lack of snow. I snow pack everything under 3-4 ft of the fluffy stuff to keep the ground temperature from going too low. I feel your pain. Your plan of amending & mulching with compost sounds great. We had a lot of snow this winter so most everything has survived.

Five acres--Have you done a lot of landscaping? Post some photos. We would love to see them.
