Greenfin,

Wow. All I have to say is thank you. Man, I was figuring since the sun was shining, each hour of "light" was equal. Not the case, I see. Makes sense ... even if it's warm this time of the year, grass and other plants won't grow either. Must be the light levels.

So...now I guess I need to accept that all those pups will be a loss and to NEVER divide in the fall again. I will just dig and store all dormant and divide in March/April when light levels return. I will keep them in the greenhouse and maybe some will resume growth in a few months.

Here's to hoping.
