Two years ago I planted some potatoes. Nothing, the grasshoppers ate them to the stalks.
The following year they all popped up again, they were out all winter long in Zone 4 and came back up just fine.
Your's might be a little too happy with the warmth of the house - you could perhaps try...
OK good, the tree just has those fluffy like sprouts swelling on the branches, no actual leaves yet but they're coming I'm sure.
We're going to go below freezing tonight and won't go over for a while, so that might stop it.
I'm not concerned with the cold, the warm weather is the problem, causing the tree to start sprouting leaves and such too early. This should only be happening in April!
Its way too early for the little shoots to be popping out on the apple tree. We've had some really odd weather, from -40 with windchills before christmas, and since then just like SPRING weather. Today was 61 degrees, yesterday was the same.

Yeah my eyes glazed over - :lol:
Interesting reading all the posts....
I think I'm going to find a little corner or spot on the property somewhere to dump all my shavings and chicken poop and leave it till 2009 :o (much easier than trying to figure it all out!)
and gosh if we get worms -...
:( I don't think I have a big fork - there is still one shed I've not looked in :D
I do have some rakes, one is really "flimsy" thin metal that kinda bounces... the one I like is the real FIRM one, I actually have used it to help pull up ice off the ground... :lol:
I think I have most of the...
