Kristi, yes, there can be a risk of frost until about the first week of April here, but none predicted at this time. It's always a gamble before then, but it would take about 30 mins to put everything back in, so I don't mind.
Laurie, TYVM! And agree, I wouldn't dedicate a pan to plants if it was still usable. That was supposed to be a non-stick pan but was just painted black apparently. The first time I used it, the coating came off in chunks & ruined dinner. It felt good to put holes in that thing & make it hang outside full of dirt. :+)
Once I can get a plant growing from cuttings, it usually goes well. The original roots are usually hopelessly enmeshed in peat that won't come off of the roots, so sad.
