we already bought replacement Black and Blues. which is not a problem at all. they did SUPER DUPER for us last year so we were excited to replace them. the ones in the ground from last year have shown no signs of life so far. again, that's ok. but we may try overwintering these new ones once fall rolls around. thanks for the tip, Chelle
Danita - your assement of the "long, cold, wet winters" doing damage...? yep, that's us. we get cool/cold rain here in Gold Bar about 9/10 months a year. you can imagine how many plants we lose each year due to root rot issues...
