    I must have forgotten to PM you about this move. You had posted the question at the end of another members topic about Primrose so I moved it to it's own topic so it would be the attention it deserves.

    I would just enjoy it indoors until the weather improves dtull.

    We are both in the same boat dtull, I'm in Chelmsford and it is just starting to climb into the 40's during the day. Keep your plant safely indoors. April is around the corner. :)

    thanks, i did'nt know if they would survive.i'll do just that and see what happens. they are blooming so there is something to look at. thanks again

    thanks jerry, will do that. i did get hold of the place i ordered them from, and they said if they dont survive, they will replace them.. and would'nt you know, yesterday i received a butterfly bush. same thing i guess just keep it inside until weather breaks. ..would someone tell me if i'm responding to these messages correctly, or should i be doing something else.....

    Quoting someone's post before responding to it really isn't necessary. Quoting just a bit of it as a 'memory booster' is fine but including the whole quote can sometimes make the post excessively long and our members who have dial-up service experience a really slow download time.

    Also, I just combined your last two posts because posting twice in a row like that is called double posting and makes a topic confusing and pretty messy looking too. ;)
