Thank You All,, Very Much!!!!

will do the best I can,,

I have learned so much from you all and this site , and still learning. Thanks Again!!!

Part of my problem is that I only get over there on the week ends, and I not able to get there this week end, will be the 20th before I get over there again,, will get some updated pics then,

hopefully my neighbor is keeping then watered being that we have had a late heat wave come through here the last two weeks, (hottest of the summer) days in the mid 90's. supposed to be back down to the 80's next week,, may be helping me also???

I also have another question,, If you don't mind,,, will this variety survive if I just cut them off at the ground and cover them with straw and all the leaves to insulate them from freezing? I know the mothers won't being that they have fruited.

I also have about ten other plants in the back yard , should be the same variety, that are getting very big,, would save me a lot of work if keeping them in the ground will work

zone 7a-7b,, most winters it does not get real cold,, maybe the lowest of 10 degrees F , but not often,,

But!!! just never can tell about " Old Man Winter"
