Re: Re: CULT: Potting new arrivals - long

Hello Sandra,

Manitoba is a long way from here.  How long are your summers?  Mine can
begin by the early part of May in bad years and then last into October
sometimes.  Those are the worst years, of course.  Nearly six months of heat
coupled with not enough rain.  Thankfully this one has been relatively, but
still very dry until yesterday and today.

That's it, I think.  Mine did very well from fall through spring.  Good
growth.  But when the heat and dry weather set in, then I'd lose many by the
time it cooled off in the fall.
