Angie, it is funny that you said "you win."
The potted plants fall under the following categories:
1. Potted daylilies will winter in a cool greenhouse to complete the acclimation process. I do not lose any through this process. I started preparing them to go in the greenhouse by cutting them way back, and spraying a systemic and a fungicide. These will be sprayed again later in the greenhouse.
2. Newly arrived tissue culture hostas also will winter in the cool greenhouse. There are 20 Hudson Bay and 20 Brother Stefan. First year TC hostas may not freeze.
3. Other potted hostas, over 1000, will be placed in heavy duty plastic bags after plants are dormant. Last winter I had about 2000 TC hostas in the cool greenhouse. Many were planted or sold, but many have to wait until next summer.
4. Tender plants that will either winter in the house or will winter in the cool greenhouse.
