Good luck with your new plants! Hopefully they will make it until planting time and the ground thaws quick enough. I am looking forward to my 5 new trees that I also am getting. Luckily the company I ordered them from is a local company and they will not ship them to me until the ground is ready for them. I still can not see any part of my raised garden, tomorrow is a high of 47 degrees I hope things start melting. I want to start planting!

"She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future." Proverbs 31:25
I know our ground here is still under a lot of snow and the parts that have melted are frozen rock hard. Even my above ground bins are solid blocks of dirt. I am holding off on starting my seeds in the hot house because I don't think I can prepare my garden beds until late April maybe even into May. I will only have a summer garden this year. But my heirloom chives in a small container that I cut back are sprouting again in spite of all the weather. So they are out in the sunshine again. Have fun! Annie
"The turnings of life seldom show a sign-post; or rather, though the sign is always there, it is usually placed some distance back, like the notices that give warning of a bad hill or a level railway-crossing." Edith Wharton, 1913 from 'The Custom of the Country'.
