after the frost

eubPlants that did not weather it:
autumn peas are dead as doornails. planted too late.
Plants that did:
the fall batch of chervil self-seeding actually looks like it's okay. during the freeze it was collapsed, crispy, and the dark green of cooked spinach.
the baby angelica's biggest leaf is unhappy, but the plant is still there.
fall carrot seedlings are still there, still not growing.
the monarda is already sending up new stems and leaves, as is the toothpaste agastache.
all the woody herbs are fine, except the marjoram/oregano/whatever has lost some limbs.
the bay tree, but I took it into the basement for some of the cold.
the hollyhocks lost their leaves, but they're hollyhocks, they'll be fine.
We'll see:
the abutilon has certainly lost its leaves, and if it didn't have the temperate-zone savvy to know to drop those, I bet it's lost sapwood.
the little loquats I don't know about; they should be hardy, but they also tried to hang onto their leaves, and failed.
the artichoke leaves are all gone, but I think it'll send up more.
(This was down to around 20 °F, several days throughout a week, with a snow blanket for the later ones.)

Date: 2009-01-05 12:36 am (UTC)I don't have too much dead, just some strange shapes.
I have a lot of coniferous evergreens that are in crazy shapes from the weight of the snow. And a few of my laurel shrubs too (but I never liked them so I'd be happy for an excuse to replace them). The only ones I'm worried about are the mugo pines. I really liked those and it looks like there may have been major damage to the center of a couple of the plants. They look bad.
