Re: Overwintering First-Year Plants

dEAR j.a.
pUT THE PLANTS IN THE GROUND ANY TIME BEFORE sEPT. 15, OBVIOUSLY THE SOONER
THE BETTER, AND MULCH THEM AND WATER THEM WITH A ROOT STIMULANT.  tHEY WILL
BE FINE.  wITH THE CLOVERS, CHECK IN THE SPRING TO BE SURE THEY HAVE NOT
FROST HEAVED.  yOU RUN A BETTER CHANCE OF THEIR SURVIVAL IN THE GROUND THAN
OUT.  Sorry, I type without looking at the screen and I didn't realize it
was on caps lock.
