Frost damage, make-up day

We lost 30-50% of our potted plants due to repeated days of freezing weather and dry winds…. guess they were “freeze dried”. Thanks to Greg and Nanci for their earnest help salvaging what they could, especially for our first planting in 2 weeks. It is too early to tell what the status of the oak seedlings are now… they’re not dead, but not too lively looking… so consensus was “wait and see”. Without the oaks we have over 600 plants… small and battered. The remaining seed flats are a mixed bag, but the Dudleya was unfazed!
Oh.. on Wednesday Ranger Larry, helped (read, he “did”) replace the cistern valve that broke in the prior frost. Much thanks for the help!
