It's definitely very unusual Eileen! Most of my time here and in clients' gardens this week and last was picking up branches and twigs. Our chipper-shredder has been busy this week, and we almost have more mulch than we know what to do with. <br /><br />Now it's time to batten down the hatches again for the next wave today.

We lived in St. Louis for a year and I still remember going down to the basement when those sirens would go off.<br />Your Daylilies are so pretty! You have such a nice variety! Hoping your weather improves.<br />PS I looked up the Oxalis crassipes and I found it should be hardy to zone 5a. I wonder if I could dig up a few bulbs and send them to you?
