is slowly bouncing back.

OUch! Jim, do you cut the Washy before they get wrapped? They seem to be annuals for fronds anyways...

Thanks you guys....

I wasnt planning on saving the Washy at all as I was out
of lights and covers..I did realize I had a strand with a few working
c-7 lights(very few)so I figured I would try and save it by cutting it
down to where I could protect it...I also had to use house insulation
around it because there was not much heat being produced by the
10 or so lights that were working.
