bumper crop of berries

last years late frost did a lot of damage. we had to replace vegetable plants that were damaged only to have them suffer from the drought that followed. one of the other casualties was a complete loss of all of the flowers on both of our holly bushes. as you know, without flowers there will not be any berries. needless to say, we had a bunch of hungry birds this past winter. when we saw the first signs of flowers, we were worried that we could lose them again and we had several cold nights that could have frosted them. luckily for the birds, the berries have survived the few false starts of spring and will be ripe and ready come fall!
