Smock-I'm laughing at your situation. I'm envious of your landscaping job but that is a lot of work to keep the plants going until next spring and having to be one place when you live somewhere else is crazy.
I travel a lot and my kids and I were on a cruise this summer and somebody ask where we were from I blurted out CA., my kids looked at me bewildered and said "no we're not we're from TX". lol Last year was in 4 times zones in 1 month, with the kids, I got to the point I didn't know what state I was in much less what time zone. It embarasses my kids but I'm too old to care.

I have a friend that uses something involved in processing pecans to scarify seeds. I can ask her if you want me to.

As a side note BB seedlings should be coming up now but I have sowed the seeds through the end of Dec. and still had spring blooms. They are very hardy. So the ones that are coming up now should bloom in the spring.
