Oh shoot! I meant to go to that one Happenstance. Oh well......... we spent most of the day buying a new car so i couldn't have gone anyway had I remembered.

The hail was so weird this time of year. Thankfully the plants seem to have survived and the buds are still on as are the pods. I bet we are in for a horrible winter. The leaves on some are really shredded.

Ms. Critterkeeper, I wonder why yours is still small after 3 years. If it is the real P & C I have heard they grow very slowly but 3 years is a long time. Generally, they like to moved up in pot size rapidly. A new seedling can go from a cell pack to a 15 gallon or bigger in one summer usually. Feed! Feed! Feed!

Poor leaves!!
