I am probably making a big mistake. Have started really collecting the tropicals. They don't do all that well here either without lots of help. Shall I blame you, Don.
Actually RJ came a couple of weeks ago and brought a truck load of wonderful things. I have planted them in the ground for now but know that by fall I will be potting and moving just like you are. I got a really small greenhouse kit from Costco this spring. 8x6. It won't hold what I already have much less get more. Will just have to hoop my entire yard I guess. Rita and bigleaves live within 5 miles of my house and that is what they do. Never take it out of the ground, just build a hoop over it.

It has been in the 40's the last two morning. Daytime low 70's which is great for me but the tropicals aren't too happy about it.
