There hasn't been a "safe" day to repot since the hard rains of April, May and June. The sun has pounded us daily after that. We got an off-icial total of 1/2" of rain in July. Today we are really lucky. A cloudy day -with 20% chance of thunderstorms. Lucky, because it decided to storm 1/2" of rain over my house! Hurray! It is still cloudy out. I might go ahead and try to repot one of them to see what happens. B-ecause I t-ravel for work, I cannot water every day. I have to do something before they just shrivel up and die on me due to lack of rain and water. If I move them out of th-e sun they won't get much at all. But I will move another *o-ne* to see what happens. Thanks for all your feedback. I fear being in pots they need more than I can give th-em in this heat. It would be another story if they were in the g-rou-nd. I am thinking of putting one in the ground next spring to see what happens. And then there's fear of theft.
