So far everything is alive...I'm learning a lot. For example, blue Java has held up excellently in the garage; Viente cohol has not. So I'll probably decide to pot it in September and treat it as a houseplant next winter. Of course any varieties that really don't hold up will be abandoned. I'm pretty determined, so I think at least a few will work out long term. It's kind of a long term action research project to figure out what I can pull off here. I probably won't see much if any fruit, but I like having the jungle in the summer and maybe I'll get a bloom some time.
Really cool!
I'll look forward to your results.
