It was a mixed bag, they are outside now, but only just.

There were a total of 35 plants (14 varieties) a few died, most simply survived, but surprisingly a few really thrived.
3 individuals died, 2 were the same variety, with the third a different variety. The second chick of the variety that one died of is looking like it is going to die as well. Which makes me think some varieties are better suited to indoor living.

All in all 12 of the 14 varieties made it through fine. The one I lost was a "bonus" with my order, so I am not as heartbroken as I might have been. I am really hoping the other makes it, but frankly it isn't looking good.

The whole thing did make me consider keeping a few of the ones that really did well inside long term, but only for about 3 minutes. Then I looked around at what my family joking calls my "greenhouse" actually the living room, and I thought better of it. Smiling
