Re: Temperate Tuberous Species Dormancy

I could be a City Poet.....'there once was a man from Nantucket......"....I lived in 'you can't get there from here' Montana for a number of years, so I have a great appreciation for the outdoors and a simpler existence.....drove across Kansas on our nearly 5000 mile honeymoon adventure a few years ago......hope the move goes well and the new location suits you ......

Hiyer, Andrew!

 

Good to hear from you.

 

Absolutely!! My wife and I have wanted to leave CA for nearly twenty years. I love the natural history and the restaurants. We hate the crowds, the high taxes, the blatant stupidity. I will give you an example: I live in the City of Davis. Due to the poor economy, Davis has cut several law enforcement programs, and not hired several police officers that were supposed to be added to the force. However, Davis has decided that it needs to fill a newly created position, a position that is full time, with full benefits. That position is City Poet.

 

Another example: the governor announced back in January that the state was broke, and pleaded with the legislature to cut spending. On camera the legislature agreed. Over the next months, the legislature then passed millions of dollars worth of brand new mandatory programs.

 

My wife and I grew up in the country, and we want to get back to that far less complicated existence.

 

Happy days,

Christopher

Hiyer!

 

I have some Pinellia, Arisaema and Arisarum that I need to go dormant because I am moving. In fact I am moving from California to Kansas. If I withold water, will they go dormant and break dormancy again next spring or will they die? The Pinellia and Arisarum have been up now for about four months, and the Arisaema for about two months. Have they had time to replentish their tubers?

 

Thanks in advance,

Christopher
