Re: Re: Fw: Re: new purchases

Donna & Gene,
Donna's right about Fernwood being warmer. And I believe we've had the
discussion before where Gene describes his location as Z5, but it's not
the same Z5 that Donna and I live in. No arguments about the zone
number, just that upper northeastern IN is colder than upper
northwestern IN and definitely colder than southern IN.


But I do think a few varieties of Cyclamen have a chance of making it
here, especially if they're well-sited and attention is paid to critter
protection and culture as both Marge and Gene have related. It's worth a
try.

Kitty is in zone 5, so am I. Fernwood, although northeast of me has a
micro 
area there due to the lake. They are zone 6. Found that out the hard way
when 
I purchased some plants from there. Did wonderful there, died the first 
winter here:(

If you have weeds, you don't have enough plants.
