Re: Temperate Tuberous Species Dormancy

---

Christopher,

     

     I agree with Tom, having lived my first 21 years in Kansas. I may have to retire there myself since my beloved Florida is getting so expensive. My mother-in law's house, a 3/2 in a medium size town, just sold for $56,000. and my dad's house, a 2/1 with large garage is for sale now for $18,000 if you're interested!  You can't even buy a Honda for that price.

Good luck, and let us know where you settle.

Christopher:  Kansas is a wonderful state. I lived in Lawrence while I was getting my Ph.D. It is a lovely town and close to Kansas City if you get bored with gentle living.  Lots of people are leaving California owing to the high taxes.  Since it is now bankrupt it will only get worse.

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
