It has been an extremely brutal winter again so I'm not going to count on it, but under tarps, and 3 feet of snow in upstate NY. I'll be able to know in about 6 weeks once I can get the tarps off and see what is growing.

Giving them ideal conditions, I can treat them like eyes on a potato, as long as they are still dormant.Steve Lauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05398643598426170132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1878745583066904839.post-83434665447580188182012-05-30T15:23:22.372-07:002012-05-30T15:23:22.372-07:00I have many Garden Treasure coming and I was just...I have many Garden Treasure coming and I was just wondering if I put them in 2 gallon pots each, would they survive the winter in them?

I believe the willow tea may have helped because these sprouts are much taller now.Steve Lauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05398643598426170132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1878745583066904839.post-31902838067531254862012-05-28T20:22:00.280-07:002012-05-28T20:22:00.280-07:00Amazing!
