Its not the size of the boat, but the motion of the ocean LOL

When I got them, it looked like they only had 4 or 5 leaves, so they were no more then 4 inches tall. IF they do stay smallish, it should be easier to protect it for the winter. Either way one is getting dug up, and either going to be treated liek canna, or potted up, under artificial lighting. To my knowledge they will survive under low light situations, jsut not much growth.

If the warmth stays till last year, it shouldnt freeze till october( ish), so im hoping to get em mroe then 2 feet all ( which would be what..... 5 times the size? ( ya not the best at math). Either way, a good jump start for next year.

I just soaked the soil. I really have to multch around the bare soil. Im pretty sure thats why they arent growing as fast. Just need some good ole deep watering.
