you were so kind to help me with my previous question thought I'd send this on as
it addresses many of your questions..I do grow it here and have experienced
almost all of the comments in the article,so found it to be accurate..They are
very sensitive to less than ideal drainage(I have fast sand soil and still
managed to loss several)and they really do suffer frosts as they come up here
well before frosts are past,if you dont get late frosts I envy you..Hope this
helped.Connie
