Checked on a few patches that produced 8 last Saturday. Found 12 and picked 4 of those. The other 8 were very small so I marked them and covered them with leaves to see how tonight’s freeze affects them. All of these I found today looked like they had just popped following last night’s rain.

All of the one’s I left overnight were not damaged by the 25 degree temps. Found 6 new ones while checking on the others. Picked another 12 to go with yesterday’s 4.
I did leave 2 to see how they fare with the upper teens/low 20’s the next 2 nights.

Got back out today in Jefferson where I found my 1st 3 on 3/9. I guess the bad news is it doesn’t appear that any or many new popped there since 3/9. The good news is maybe they were just delayed and not damaged by the freezes. I picked 1! I don’t recall a season like this one where they have been delayed this long after initially popping.

Definitely a big delay. By Sunday they should be doing good. What type is hard to tell. Prolly a combo of diff types. After church it’s game on Sunday .

Soils temps are getting right again. We should be able to start finding them again this weekend.
