What a difference a year makes. Last year at this time it was in the 70s and 80s here...everything was growing, I was in the middle of repotting and was already planting stock in the ground. The price was paid when we had devastating freezes in April...most of the stock plants I put in the ground had their new growth frozen off twice (but survived), and local fruit crops were basically wiped out. And fruit growing is a big part of the local economy.
This year, the ground is still frozen, and while I'm tired of the incessant cold, snow and wind (staying below freezing today), all the trees are still dormant. Of course, this means spring is going to come all at once and everything will need repotting at the same time.
