Well...temperature inside the cool room .. on the lowest no freeze setting is now at 48*F.. outside temps at 38*F..it seems to be a bit warm.. and mostthings.. even with about no light .. still have their leaves.. some of the late flowers developed in the dark.. and others were moved in with flowers on them.. they faded and most fell off... a few stayed and shriveled.. but did not fall off.. these I find have pods developing... on Dark Rosella.. pictured in bloom outside.. is now dug up.. baggged and in the cool room.. going dormant perhaps..
Should I.. leave the pods on...will they start to develop again in the spring when they break dormancy. or... once they go dormant.. are the pods gonners.. if I'd loose the pods.. I guess I'll put it in a pot . and bring it inside.. under the metal halide lights .. will pods develop underlights.. and ripen..
