Generally our winters have about 3 - 4 freezing spells that last a day or two, would you agree Debra and Donald? That is a good observation Donald. I never thought that some varieties would be hardier to make through a hot summer.Do you know the names of those 4 year olds?
Last year , two pots make it through the winter all covered with leaves... so that made me think I should not worry about adding drainage...well that might have been the wrong conclusion.
They survived the summer in the shade being watered every 3 days or so. Interesting no soil recipe Cinta. I think here in Texas that might be a baking sheet
If I end up with lots of chicks I will experiment
Thankyou Lynn for the pot comment. I thought it would be cute to grow them in mugs with a drain hole drilled but maybe it wasn't such a good idea.
Tim,I like your attitude about "buh-bye", I will try to pick off the dead pieces, but will only feel bad if they all die
