I have been itching to get some vinca to add the plants I already have. I am trying to grow ground cover under a shady area in my yard. I have been working on this for a couple of years, but it is going slow. I have decided I need to get a lot of plantings and feed and water them heavily.
Well, today, I was visiting with folks who have done some early planting this year: their plants have been nipped by the freezes we have had. I see in my own yard: the little fingerling oak sapling lost its leaves, and the volunteer trumpet vines have all wilted. One person said her neighbors peach blossoms were nipped, so they will not have peaches this year.
So, although I had thought to buy vinca this weekend, I will wait a while longer. There is a prediction of overnight freezing temperatures in the coming week.
