Name: Louise
East Texas, zones 7b/8a
Garden Ideas: Level 1
The plants I received and planted in July are in 4" pots, cactus soil + perlite and are on a metal plant rack
outside and against an east wall. Are they safe in my zone, which can get down to 10-15 degrees, or
should they be planted in the ground or brought inside?

These learning curves have me a bit baffled because I want each and every one of them to live and not
die!!! Needless to say, our extremely high summer temps and very little rain have killed several. Our
temp today was 98 and will be that high tomorrow also. Very unusual seasons. I bought all the supplies
to make a wreath while waiting for the mail to bring the plants. The supplies are safely stored away for
now - my first lesson with semps!

My favorite past-time is to follow the grower links and see the possibilities that await a healthy patience.
I find myself searching the many yard sales for anything can be used as a semp planter.

Thanks for any advice.
