Geof - it was a lot of watering! As they grew and needed potting up the space was scarce but we got it done - 99% Jack. The planting out was back-breaking work up to 12 hours a day.
Mary - next year I'll follow the lead of Swan Island and Old House. I received both boxes in mid April and from now on that's when I'll start them, sans lights, on the porch. Those I put out there are all making such nice progress and haven't become too awkward to handle (or plant).
Great news about the grandsons and your car. You have every reason to be happy about it.
