Thanks Harvey, not discouraged at all. I'm waiting on a V.C. at the moment but that'll be up to Going Bananas if I get it this year. Still I'm collecting Hardy, Fruiting , Tall and Ornamentals till they prove I either can't overwinter via "big dog" or "on the porch with metal halides" or the old reliable hay bales and tarp.( or when I run out of room, working on that too.)
Haven't had one flower yet so I can't be discouraged till then.
