Default Re: here we go again

Yeah, I am in a similar boat as you. I live on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Also hard and expensive to get any kind of selection. We have lots of wet most of the year, generally relatively warn, dry summer days and cool/cold nights. Makes growing large specimens of anything other than the coldest of cold hardy varieties a bit of a challenge. My Dwarf Orinocos even limped along here ( I lost them the winter before last, unfortunately, due to, I think, the poor choice of potting medium I used.....it was their second winter.....they rotted in my garage and by the time I noticed something was amuck, it was too late)

Best of luck, I hope it all works out and maybe someone with more specific experience will chime in. Definitely keep us posted.
