      You’ve done well. When I grew them, they didn’t last long at all, less than a couple of months.

      My plants took quite a knock last night, circuit breaker for the greenhouse tripped, so temps in there dropped below freezing. So they are looking decidedly bedraggled this morning.

      Lets hope they pick up.

      Steve...:)

        @Steve R that is so horrible to hear. I had that happen once years ago. The heat cut out and everything froze. Solid. It was pretty nasty.

        You have my sympathy. Our little green friends can't get up and walk somewhere comfortable..
