Ursula, We have been running above normal temperatures all season---which is not the best thing when it comes to my 'this years' seedlings. They'll keep growing until they freeze off. They're just like little kids that refuse to go to sleep when the weather is nice. Once frozen, I will trim the foliage back and bury the pots for winter. But for now, I just have to play the waiting game and hope for colder weather to set in
