Lucky you!! I won't be able to get my plants out until at least the end of March, probably into April. I HATE PA winters....soooo cold and drabby.

I lost one of my DRs over the winter....the little pink one. But I think part of the problem...other than being in the house all winter....was I bought them very late in the season and then transplanted them and they didn't have a chance to get established before hitting winter. They went from bright green and growing nicely to dormant in a very short time. It also didn't have a very strong root system.

I think the other 2 might be OK ... I hope so... the next 3 weeks or so should tell. I'll probably start taking them outside during the day and bringing them in at night by then. That should help....
I hate losing plants....I know they are "just plants" but when you nurse them along and baby them and get them to grow, bloom, and be pretty and they die....it's like losing a friend..... Crying
