I followed Greene's instructions, washed the roots and re-potted. and three of them are surviving. I think I will follow his lead as he is in Ga. I forget I am not planting hostas.
I dont know if you guys are familiar with Sprouts! but they have the pretties herbs. very expensive. I saved a pot of Basil after snipping off the leaves for about a year.. I hope the freezes dont kill the others.
