Stop worrying the ice protects the plants well. i doubt if the plants you
are talking about will be hurt, especially Poppies.
Good Luck but I doubt it will be all that bad.

Well, I too am worried about things, particularly since we had two days
just
before it in the h igh 70s. It is my hope that any seedlings of poppies
or
other babies coming up with withstand as long as the ice (32o) stays on
them.
It's supposed to warm up today to melt stage and no more frost is
predicted and
weather will be back to normal in a day or two, which is 69 degrees, by
45 at
night.
Fingers crossed for me, you and all us plant freaks!

I fear to find out what has been destroyed after the ice storm, but can
