I couldn't stand it another minute so I just went out to the ugly brown tarp(still beats blue though
ripped that off then took off the remay I was sure would add that little bit extra protection( even 1 degree can't hurt right?
under this were 4 bales of straww meticulousy bound to prevent any and all damage to my beloved 3 1/2 ft P-stem
Which flopped over deader than good will on wall street.
I pulled all the mushy goodness away to find
The corm hard as a rock about 1 1/2inches high and looking good.
Not the success I'd hoped for but after this winter not a failure at all.
Wait till next year!..I'll show ya!!!!
