Thanks guys/gals. My brutal treatment of my plants has unfortunately continued. There are a few that have fell by the wayside but still some that are making it despite the odds. I can't whine, it is my fault. I set them out and things were looking good. We had a few windy days that didn't help them much. Then Wed afternoon I was due to go to KC for a trauma symposium for work for a few days. While the temps had been nice, that night and following few days were predicted to storm, ice and freeze. Sooooo, I took all the plants into the dark dingy garage. I got back this evening and found a few more casualities (from original problem, wind damage and/or cat stompling) and the rest needed water. It is going to rain tonight and tomorrow so not sure when I can get these babies in the ground and out of their misery, LOL. Anyway, thanks for the comments. I just thought I would continue my story of plant abuse.
