Holly I think it takes a lot of patience growing plants that aren't hardy in our zone. Finally I have a good grip on timing. I can move everything outside when it is consistently 60 degrees at night and I must keep in mind that the pot of dirt is not just a pot of dirt. By the end of June I have beautiful plants. If you can find the time I think
journaling is very helpful. I often feel I learn more from my failures than my success. It's a little hard to imagine when your looking at a bunch of sticks in the basement over the winter. Didn't I see you post somewhere you are putting up a green house? Should be a very exciting year for you.
