We have had a few warm nights with temps above 40*
This makes me chomp at the bit to start putting my plants in the deck containers.
I just have no patience.
Maybe next week.

We should be okay now, maybe a light frost, I can just cover the planter for the nights that might happen. Smiling

You do have a great climate there in Oregon. We get unexpected frosts mid month.

We do here also, but usually not heavy frost or freeze.

I saw some amazing coleus while at a nursery in the Denver, CO area. I need to get them cropped and add them to the database. Hurray!

We are already hitting 90's during the day so container planting time is in full swing already. But then again, too hot for new transplants..luckily I am transplanting succulents.

I am drooling over that photo Jo Ann.
It appears to be one of the Kalanchoe 'Flap Jack' plants. I have one and love it. It think there is more than one variety of them though.
