Our version of yesterday's storms included winds of 46 MPH with gusts to 67 MPH and temperatures that fell to 35. I had 5 flats of vinca that I moved to the front porch. But that offered no protection from the northwest winds. This morning they all looked like this. Beaten up and dessicated from the wind.
So, I trimmed their tops off, getting rid of the old blooms and top two or three leaves, put them in the vinca ICU, and soaked them with some light fertilizer solution. Poor sad things!
And this afternoon they all look like this. Just a little miracle, huh?
They'll be ready to plant in a week or so.
