cold and snow

so the cold and now had some bad effects,
but strangely it did not change the very short spinach growing in the garden
but it is still short and small
the cactus were my biggest worry,
they all seem a bit wilted (I covered them in paper bags before it snowed )
the round ones seem mostly fine, they are wilted, but also seem live
this one lost a leaf, but appears fine
the fruit on this one is clearly lost
this flat one looks dead entirely, maybe the base lived
so some types lived just fine and others failed,
this is super easy to select for,
everything that does not do well does not live
and it is likely not getting colder than here a few weeks ago, so it is a great test.
