You do get colder than we do here Linda, and you definitely have a longer, hotter growing season.
Here is a picture I took today of the above pot.
Here is from when I first planted it in middle July and then a picture I took today. Not sure what I did with the first picture to make it look so olive colored? And I just noticed that I didn't take it from the same angel. : ( I will get another picture tomorrow, it's still raining.
