I don't believe my ground ever truly froze, at least not yet. the Crocuses are coming up, wasps are everywhere, I saw a huge bullfrog reposing on the bottom in shallow water on pond #2. I am fairly certain that my cherries, peaches, and apples will take a hit as they are too far along for this time period.
I hope the insects aren't worse this Spring, the annual infestation of Buffalo Gnats nearly pushed me over the edge last year, I don't want to ponder the possibility of an even larger hatch....
