HZ6. I have lost a PS in my first attempt of wintering, much better protected than yours
appear to be (see the ‘funny man’ here): My Banana Experience (or lack of it). It shows the PS
buried in a large tomato cage stuffed with leaves. It did not make it. (Snip)

Okay, Lynn, you've got me eating my words. As my sig. says, I am here to learn. So what
is that miracle stuff you wrapped your PSs in? and how many layers did it take?
Thanks,
Olaf
