Lynn, the winters in Jax are very mild, we may get a few days where the morning lows will be below freezing. I beleive they will love our weather from October-June. July, August and September are very hot and humid.

Here are the final pictures of the bed we made in the mountains of NC were we come often to see my wife's parents. We are hoping this bed will become the "mother ship" for all the semps as they should LOVE this climate. Today there is cloudy with highs around 80 and lows in the 60s. It stays very cool here during the summers and the winters are worse than Jacksonville but really not that harsh. I hope they take off. We are very excited to see how they do!!

Here is a before picture the Semps went in with my mother in law getting everying ready. She has a wonderful garden here where I started some Semps earlier this year. They are doing GREAT, although one already is starting to bloom but has lots of small plants taking off.Thumb of 2012-07-20/Andrewsreef/139cd8

Here is the after pic with all the Semps!

The large red one is UNREAL!! I promise to get the names organized on each of them shortly when we get some time!

If I loose any in Jax the hope is the ones in the mountains of NC will thrive and do well.

We will keep you updated.

Thanks

Andrew
