So the cold ground may have shocked them this year. Also, if you use the Bonnies seedlings from the big orange or blue store, I've had hit or miss luck with them.

I also had a fantastic run in 2011, but a blight throughout this part of Conn. just decimated them last year. Try seeding some new plants.
