Thanks, Ran. I assume the same holds true for potted plants if I plan to
carry them over the winter?

The potted ones fared worse generally than those in the ground, which I
expected would happen. Some of them are down to just a leaf or two, though
they were fairly full and healthy before I left.  Can they be planted now,
or this fall? Or should I overwinter them in the pot?
