prita,
My String of Hearts say's Thank You ! I don't baby it. It hangs under a Big Oak in the Summer, get's just a touch of full sun early, then dappled sun/shade throughout the day. I give it a good drink every once in a while if we haven't had rain, but I do wave the hose over the foliage every few days, and I don't bring it in till unless we are having consistently cool weather. If it's just a cool snap, like over night, I wrap a light weight horse blanket around it. ( horse blanket's are great for covering an assortment of plants. ! ) It really needs to be repotted, which is at minimum a 2 person job, actually easier with 3 as it is at least now 4 1/2 feet long. Probably ought to divide it out a little too. Last time I divided it it took off like crazy. Don't you just love those Blue Pea vines, watch it tho, mine comes up from seeds that drotp on the ground every year. Do you have the white one ? Very pretty !
Knee is still "misbehavin", which is normal life for me. I've had surgery on both of them for various torn ACL's and completely removed the Meniscus in the right knee.

Gagirl, I have ton's of seed for the Blue Pea vine ..............

This is a better pic of the Passion Flower edulis McCain than the one I took the other "night" lol....got out there when I had decent light.
