That's gorgeous, Chelle!

Beautiful!

I'm still waiting for my 'Limelight' to have buds and bloom. I probably won't get any.

Can you pull it into the garage to try over-wintering it, Marilyn? Maybe if it's fully rooted and ready to go next spring blooms might come a bit sooner. I'm leaving mine just as it is, in the warmest micro-climate I have, and then I'll just hope for the best.

No, it's too big. It's in a 24 inch container on the patio and it's not easy to get to the garage from there, anyway. I'm just not going to grow it again.

We're suppose to get to 37 tonight and as I look to the forecast temps next week, I noticed that we're suppose to start Friday at 32 and Saturday at 33. I was hoping for a very late/late frost/freeze this year. Oh well.

I'm so happy to see all the flowers from your plant!

Me, either...if it doesn't make it through winter.

Yep, I saw that forecast, too. Looks like there's going to be an earlier start to winter this year.

On Monday Nov. 11, we had a dusting of snow along with temps in the 20's for the low and my plant that hadn't bloomed died. I hadn't grown it before this year, as I thought it would flower too late for me, but I took a chance and grew it.

Bummer, Marilyn.


About a week ago, I dug mine out of it's container, clipped it back, popped it in a bag and stuck it in our crawlspace for the winter...just to see if it will live 'til next spring. It's a long winter here though, so I'm not expecting much.

Black and Blue got the same treatment, so... we'll wait and see.

Our overwintering guide might be of help to some of you. It covers all sorts of ways to handle tender plants in harsh climates.

Nasty weather settling in here tonight, with sustained winds of 40 to 50 mph and gusts to 60.

Kermit,

I don't see it on that page. ( ?? )

Yikes.. that's some major winds! Guess that's what happens when you live on the coast?

Kermit

I don't see it either on the link.

This is the right URL. It is a landing page to download the guide.

Winds never developed here as forecast. Inlad of us it was serious, be we were very fortunate.

Looks like you have to put in your email in order to get the "report". I found the link.

But doesn't show any info, just that you need to put in your info in order to get the info.

That's what I saw, too.

I got the info. Click on this link. That's what came up for me.

Marilyn:

The link you are given for download is tied to a session, and won't work if one tries to share.

It took close to 100 hours to build this report and supporting software. An email address, which we clearly state we will not sell or abuse, is a small price to pay for this.
