Yeah, loved and learned from Kens' story. Every summer I depart the 100 degree plus climate of Bakersfield (sounds hot don't it) to stay on my Alabama acerage. Yet, in my own testimony, I left a passal (20 gal planter) full of 'em sitting on the patio. So upon return in August I watered the planter and bought some more from the local fishing shop. Was I surprised when mixing the soil, those buggers survived 6 weeks of no water and 105 degree days Not only are they cold hardy yet also heat hardy. If you slough off for a few weeks, they'll survive despite our negillgence
